The Simpsons, the animated institution with a knack for eerily mirroring real-world events, has done it again (or has it?). This time, a photo of a real-life three-eyed fish has sent fans into a tizzy, reigniting the debate about the show’s uncanny predictive powers.
The episode in question, “Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish,” aired way back in 1990. In it, Marge Simpson serves a three-eyed fish named Blinky to Mr. Burns, whose Springfield Nuclear Power Plant is a notorious polluter.
This week, a picture surfaced on Reddit showcasing a real-life fish with a similar third eye, discovered off the coast of Greenland.
The internet, naturally, went into overdrive. Reddit threads exploded with comments like “The Simpsons strikes again!” and “Wow, just like Blinky!”
The location of the real fish even sparked a playful debate about the supposed true location of the Simpsons’ fictional town of Springfield.
But beyond the memes, genuine scientific curiosity emerged. Users pondered the functionality of the extra eye and its potential impact on fish evolution.
An expert eventually weighed in, explaining that such deformities often result in non-functional eyes. The real fish likely suffers from exophthalmia, causing the eye to bulge, and at least one eye might not work properly.
The cause of the real-life fish’s third eye remains a mystery, but the incident has undeniably rekindled the fascination with The Simpsons’ supposed prophetic abilities.
Whether a case of spooky prediction or just a bizarre coincidence, the discovery highlights the show’s enduring cultural influence and its ability to spark conversation, both lighthearted and scientific.
One thing’s for sure: The Simpsons continue to keep us entertained, engaged, and maybe just a little bit creeped out.
