The manipulated predictions of The Simpsons that a TikTok shows as real

The Simpsons have matched many real-life events such as Donald Trump's presidency, making people obsessed with finding predictions in their chapters, yet there are those who have been forcing them to make conspiracy theories.

For example, on TikTok an account called teori.konspirative0 has repeatedly uploaded a video where it supposedly collects events that occurred in real life that The Simpsons predicted at face value.

Among the scenes resumed by the tiktoker is the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, or Lisa's resemblance to Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

Because the fake content, TikTok has downloaded the video several times, however it is re-uploaded by the user, asking the platform not to block it and calling on others to “open their eyes”. As the name of the account says, it is only a conspiracy theory, which has no basis, because in the chapters of the series it can be seen that the scenes it shows do not exist.

Nowadays, technology allows you to manipulate images with editing programs. With these, you can easily add or remove items to create something new. That way there are images of The Simpsons that never happened.

The meeting took place in 2017, however, some say that The Simpsons drew it in 2002, to make it seem that they knew that this would happen 15 years in advance. The reality is that it was drawn a week after the event occurred.

It should be remembered that the Simpsons' predictions are of general events, not identical scenes as in this case.

In the chapter “Husbands and Knives” (Husbands and Knives in English), broadcast in November 2007 the cathedral does indeed appear, but not burned down. The flames would have been included by someone.

The tiktoker video also features two images of Lisa where she is dressed just like Clinton and Harris. The Simpsons had supposedly predicted that both would hold high positions in American politics.

Although it is true that Lisa's dress matches that of Vice President Kamala Harris during the inauguration, the chapter never mentions the Democrat or any other resemblance occurs. In the case of Hilary Clinton, the image would have been manipulated to change the color of the costume and looked similar to the one in the photo, as it was taken from the same chapter “Bart to the Future”.

Supposedly the cartoon guessed that the former athlete from Los Lakers was going to die when Bart went to visit him in the cemetery, although it is a manipulation. In the original chapter Bart visits the tomb of his grandfather Abraham Simpson.

Another case of a manipulated image is where Lisa supposedly views Donald Trump with a grudge, similar to when in 2019 environmentalist Greta Thungerg stared at the then president of the United States.

The photograph and the edited image went viral so many believed that this scene really happened in the series, however, it is a montage of a short film broadcast in 2016.
