A video is going increasingly viral on social media these days, claiming that the famous animated show ‘The Simpsons’ predicted a global internet shutdown on 16 January 2025. The video shows a huge shark cutting the internet cables underneath the sea, causing internet services to be shut down all over the world.
Trump’s Oath ceremony
The video also states that the event will take place on January 16, 2025, and has been linked to Donald Trump‘s presidential inauguration. However, the fact that Trump’s inauguration is scheduled for January 20, 2025, casts doubt on the veracity of this claim.
What’s the fact?
Experts and fact-checking organizations say that this video is completely fake. ‘The Simpsons’ never made such a prediction. The show is known for its satire and fictional predictions, but the visuals shown in the viral video do not match any of the official episodes of the show.
Why did the video go viral?
Fake or sensational content spreads rapidly on social media. The video has been linked to the credibility of ‘The Simpsons’ and the political influence of Donald Trump, making it even more viral. At the same time, a hypothetical situation like internet shutdown has further fuelled people’s curiosity.
The Simpsons and the Prophecies
‘The Simpsons’ has at times depicted events that later became reality, such as smartwatches or Trump becoming president in 2016.” But in this case the claim of the show’s prediction is completely false. The claim of a global internet shutdown on 16 January 2025 is based only on an edited video and has no truth to it. This is a fictional story named after ‘The Simpsons’. In such a situation, avoid relying on such viral content and do not panic. If any other sensational video comes out in the future, do not share it without checking its veracity. Beware of rumours on social media and seek information only from reliable sources.
