Fans baffled as The Simpsons appears to predict future again

They’ve done it again. Yet another eerie prediction made by the cartoon appears to have just come true.

The Simpsons has predicted the future — again.

The beloved animated sitcom has enjoyed quite the reputation for seeing into the future during its 35-year run, teasing everything from Donald Trump as president to a failed attempt to recreate Willy Wonka’s chocolate world in real life, not to mention Diddy’s recent downfall.

Now, the discovery of a three-eyed fish in Greenland has diehard fans of the show exclaiming once more, recalling the season two episode, “Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish,” reports the New York Post.

Broadcast all the way back in the fall of 1990, the episode pushes amoral nuclear power plant owner Mr. Burns toward a moment of reckoning, after he’s confronted with the reality that his polluting business has wreaked havoc on the environment, resulting in such abominations as a three-eyed fish.

The three-eyed fish showed up on the series decades ago.

A brisk online discussion began after somebody shared a photo of the IRL anomaly on Reddit.

“Three-eyed cod caught off the coast of Greenland,” the post was captioned.

“Took a few decades but The Simpsons nailed another one,” a Redditor replied.

“Wow. Like Blinky in The Simpsons,” said another.

“So Springfield was in Greenland!” said a third person, alluding to the ongoing joke that the location of Springfield, home of The Simpsons, has never been revealed.

“Yet another example of The Simpsons did it earlier,” someone said.

The fish caught off the coast of Greenland.

Just as many people appeared to be interested in how the actual fish came to be.

“But seriously, if the eye works, would there be a small chance of some evolutionary developments with three-eyed fish? Or does the eye use up too much energy,” one science-type person asked.

A poster claiming to be an expert explained: “What’s more than likely is that one of the three [eyes] is not working properly. You can see the fish is suffering from exophthalmia on the left eye, my guess is it’s probably not functional. It could even be the case that 2 out of 3 are not functional. I have seen many deformities with fish and in most cases the “extra bit” was not functional.”

The cartoon is famous for apparently predicting world events.

It comes just months after fans noticed another eerie prediction appearing to come true – with hip-hop group Cypress Hill unexpectedly teaming up with the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) for a concert.

In a 1996 episode, Homer Simpson was seen taking Bart and Lisa to a music festival after learning that classic rock is no longer deemed “cool”.

At one point in the episode, the stage manager for the festival comes into the artists’ area with a group of suited-up classical musicians and inquires: “Who is playing with the London Symphony Orchestra?”

“Come on people, somebody ordered the London Symphony Orchestra … possibly while high … Cypress Hill, I’m looking in your direction.”

The scene cuts to Cypress Hill’s DJ Muggs, B-Real and Sen-Dog who reply: “Er, yeah, we think we did”, before asking the orchestra members if they’re familiar with the group’s 1993 single Insane In The Brain.

The leader of the orchestra admits that he and his fellow musicians “mostly know classical” but gamely suggests “but we could give it a shot.”

Last year, fans also claimed the show may have predicted the disappearance of the OceanGate submersible that was exploring the ruins of the Titanic.
