A edited video circulating on social media claims that "The Simpsons" predicted a global internet shutdown on January 16, 2025, triggered by a giant shark severing underwater internet cables. The video, which has garnered widespread attention, suggests that the shutdown would coincide with Donald Trump’s inauguration. However, this theory is flawed, as Trump's inauguration is scheduled for January 20, not January 16. This mix-up has raised doubts about the authenticity of the prediction. Despite the confusion, the video has quickly gained traction, leading many to question if "The Simpsons" truly foresaw this bizarre scenario. Did 'The Simpsons' Predict LA Wildfire?
