In the last week, pace of Prime Day, there has been no talk of anything other than the new Meta platform: Threads. The app was a huge success at launch, although the social network has not yet landed in Europe. But what has also come to us is the theory that the Simpsons predicted the Threads logo in an old episode. It is true? Absolutely not.
There’s this mystical aura about the beloved animated series by Matt Groening. A halo made of legend: The Simpsons predict the future. Indeed the show, during its thirty-year history (the first episode dates back to 1989) has foreseen numerous historical events. The most obvious is certainly the one concerning the presidency of Donald Trump, prophesied in 2000 and fulfilled in 2016. And then the horsemeat scandal, the Apple Watch and even the submarine lost near the wreck of the Titanic.
Did The Simpsons Predict the Threads Logo? The fake news
In recent days, a photo of an old episode of The Simpsons has gone viral on social media. Specifically we see that Homer’s ear has an atypical shape, like an @. It appears to be indeed the Threads logo. Find the photo below.
This below is the Threads logo instead.
A striking resemblance, right? Well yes, it’s a pity that Homer’s image has been expertly edited to endorse the prophecy hypothesis. Below is the real picture of the most popular of Springfield residents. We don’t know how the one who spread the fake news reacted when he learned that he had been discovered. But we like to think that he exclaimed: “DOH!”.
