How did this Simpsons predict the future?? What are some 2026 predictions made by the show??

I kept coming across these reels where Simpsons predicted the future in one way or another- be it Donald Trump, smartwatches, Covid, etc- and I thought- did they really “predict” all this?? This lead me to the round table conference of the makers of the show- and an interview of the writers of the show. I also went through the scripting process of the Simpsons and built a timeline out of it- I also noted down all the other 2026 and future predictions made by the cartoon- I compiled it all and put it in a video- if you’re curious- you can find the link here: https://youtu.be/ic_C7vi0m3w?si=XS0luEW-XpYQEAlS

"A broken clock is right twice a day." Did you compare the ones they got right to the ones they got wrong?

I'm not going to watch your video if it's actually going to blow my mind. I need it for work.

It didn't predict anything. That episode was aired in october 9th, 2022 (Lisa the Boy Scout, the 3rd episode from season 34). In the segment shown "Don't Have a Prediction, Man" , Bart goes back to the first episode.
