It seems that we do not know something about the creators of the cult animated series The Simpsons. The fact is that year after year they guess the events of subsequent years. The Simpsons have already predicted the Donald Trump presidency, the 11/2020 tragedy and even the African Ebola virus. This year, too, it was not without predictions. What events of XNUMX the Simpsons foresaw - tells People talk.
Pandemic
In season 4 there is a series of "Shackles of Marge", which tells about the spread of the Osaka flu epidemic, which was brought from Japan. There, one of the office workers sneezed into a package with a parcel. So a dangerous virus got to Springfield, and people started to panic.
Bees-killers
In the same episode, due to panic from a new disease, people overturned a huge truck, in which there were killer bees. Recall that in the spring of this year in the United States somehow got giant killer bees that live only in Southeast Asia. A person's kidneys can fail from several bites, but there have been cases when people have died.
U.S. riots
In the same episode, Marge is taken into custody for accidentally stealing a bottle from a store. All this causes riots in the streets. Characters in the animated series begin to destroy shop windows and even set houses on fire. All of this is very similar to the spring events in America associated with the Black Lives Matter movement.

Toppling the statue
The action also takes place in the series "Shackles of Marge". This time, a monument to Jimmy Carter, who was considered the main monster in the history of the country, was erected in Springfield. As a result, people topple the statue. All of this is very similar to the massive toppling of the statues of Christopher Columbus. The discoverer of America was accused of colonizing the indigenous peoples of the mainland.
Remote work and video calls
Back in 1995, The Simpsons predicted the popularity of video calling. In Season 6, in the episode "Lisa's Wedding", we are transported into the future, where we see Lisa and Marge talking on video.

Popularity of Animal Crossing
During the pandemic, this game gained incredible popularity, people began to massively buy Nintendo Switch consoles. The Simpsons, of course, could not predict this particular game, but back in the 1998 series they hinted at something very similar. Back then, Bart played a gardening simulator where he grew plants and flowers.
