The Simpsons' fans convinced new eerie prediction has come true as baffled fisherman catches mutant creature

The Simpsons appears to have done it again and created yet another perfectly cromulent prediction of the future.

The show has developed one hell of a reputation for accurately calling the future, and at this point it'd be crazy not to listen to their portents of what's to come.

Even just in 2024 so much has happened that had already featured on The Simpsons, and now you can add another entry to the list.

Cast your minds back a VERY long time to the episode Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish.

It's from the show's second season and first released back in 1990 when I didn't exist, and there's a good chance you didn't either, dear reader.

Anyhow, it's the episode where Mr Burns decides to run for governor of whichever state Springfield is in (it's a secret) and Bart catches a three-eyed fish.

Burns tries to show he's a man of the people by sitting down for a televised dinner with Homer and his family, but Marge catches Burns out when she serves him the three-eyed fish irradiated by his own nuclear power plant.

Yep, you guessed it, someone has only gone and claimed they've caught a three-eyed fish.

Posting on Reddit, they claimed that someone had caught a 'three-eyed cod' off the Greenland coast, though I don't know of any nuclear power plants in that area.

Of course, the internet set about declaring it another prediction win for The Simpsons, while others indicated that they weren't sure the picture was even real and might be AI generated.

Honestly, at this point it's pretty easy to think that they're messing with some serious magic in The Simpsons writing room given all the things they've predicted over the years.

A spooky number of things they've put into their show have ended up happening for real, including a Las Vegas tiger mauling their handler, Donald Trump becoming president and Fox getting bought out by Disney.

It's possible that some of their predictions have ended up becoming self-fulfilling prophecies too, as Cypress Hill recently announced a collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra.

The idea first spawned from a Simpsons joke, and the show is that culturally significant that if they say Cypress Hill and the London Symphony Orchestra should perform together you start to wonder.

Meanwhile, Simpsons writers have explained the trick to predicting so many things accurately over the years: be lucky and be around for a long time.
