The Simpsons Predicted Fuel Shortage in the UK

A new claim has been made about the Simpsons series, which is claimed to have predicted many important events until the election of former US president Donald Trump. People who share the footage of the series say that the fossil fuel shortage already experienced in the UK is foreseen in the series.

The theory is that in the November 2010 episode of “Lisa Simpson, This Isn’t Your Life”, the character Homer bought 1,000 gallons of fuel to win a promotional toy for the character Maggie. In the scene that quickly became popular, Homer turns the trunk of his car into an ocean of fuel.

Scene and actual footage from The Simpsons:

The episode in Simpson and the background of the real-life situation are not very similar. It may be a highly probable coincidence that a series with more than 700 episodes coincides with real events at some points. After all, the series is able to deal with all kinds of events and theories in every episode over 700 episodes.

Details of the crisis mentioned in Simpson:

Citizens across the country went to gas stations in panic to buy fuel, following reports of a lack of drivers in the UK to handle bulk shipments. Fuel stocks at the stations were depleted within hours.

It is estimated that there is a shortage of more than 100,000 truck drivers in the country, causing problems in many industries, including food suppliers and supermarkets. Tobias Ellwood, chairman of the parliamentary defense select committee, said the military must be mobilized to “regain public confidence” and stop panic buying.

In addition, calls continue to rise for health and social care staff to gain priority access to available fuel, after some citizens were reported having trouble getting to work due to fuel supply problems.
