White Tiger Attack –
Back in 1993, The Simpsons mocked Siegfried & Roy by showing them getting mauled by their white tiger. The same thing happened in real life 10 years later. I actually witnessed the Las Vegas headliners back in 95 and it was the most bedazzled thing my kid brain had ever seen.

Self-Driving and Self-Parking cars –
With Tesla recently introducing self-drive mode in their cars, it looks as if they may have gotten some inspiration from an episode of Inspector Gadget from the ’80s. Google and many other car companies are waist deep in this new tech.

The Censorship Of Michelangelo’s David –
Residents of St. Petersburg were very unhappy when a replica of Michelangelo’s David was placed in St. Anne’s Lutheran Church in central St. Petersburg. One woman has even written a letter asking for the sculpture to be censored. “How could you put this bloke without any trousers in the center of St Petersburg next to a school and church?” the woman wrote in a letter. In order to turn something negative into a positive, local authorities then started an initiative called “Dress David” where people voted on how the replica could be censored. There was an option “leave it as it is” and since this story happened back in 2016 and nobody talked about it ever since, there is a big chance that the sculpture remained uncensored although during the voting period, David was just covered in black tape.

Faulty Voting Machine –
This one shocked many as The Simpsons managed to almost identically predict the future. Back in 2008, Homer was seen voting for Obama during the election but the vote automatically changing for Mitt Romney. 4 years later, the exact same thing happened in Pennsylvania where a faulty machine had to be removed because of changing people’s votes for Mitt Romney.

in 2000, before it actually happened, The Simpsons already predicted Donald Trump running and winning the presidency. Now we wait for Lisa Simpsons to become the president, eventually.

The Prediction Of Higgs Boson Or “God Particle” –
Back in 2012, physicists confirmed the existence of the Higgs Boson also known as the “God particle”. This scientific breakthrough helped explain how everything in the universe has mass. The discovery itself is amazing but what is even better is the fact that 14 years before this happened, Homer was illustrated in front of a blackboard with an equation that actually predicted the mass of the yet-to-be-discovered particle which basically means Homer was the first scientist to share any info on Higgs Boson.

Three-Eyed Fish –
Everyone recognizes the three-eyed fish from The Simpsons, a similar fish was recently found in Argentina near a nuclear power plant. Speaking of Nuclear Power plants, you should check out Chernobyl on HBO, such a good show.
