For over three decades, the series has thrived with a dedicated audience invested in Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.

As they have previously predicted things like tiger attacks and the Trump presidency, many people eye on The Simpsons predictions seeing as some of their insights have come true.

A recent TikTok video titled 'Simpsons predictions for 2023 that will give you chills' has recently gone viral.

Inflation and Economic crisis

We are all aware of gas prices, and the ongoing cost of living crisis, but this prediction, apparently for the year 2023, may shock you.

A man tells Homer: “Anarchy, the end of civilisation coming soon to an America near you."

Homer responds: “America can’t collapse, we’re as powerful as Ancient Rome."

The man plays him a video that says: “The modern world an inexorable march of progress."

Homer says "sweet", and the video continues: “Or, is it, we’re slaves to the system, close the supermarket, and we starve."

Then cards appear saying, no local farming, peak oil, Ben Bernanke, solar flares, 17 year cicadas, deadly troll.

Homer adds: “Oh my god, this unsourced, undated video has convinced me beyond any reasonable doubt."

The man reassures Homer and says: “I’m the guy you want to know when the stuff hits the fan.”

A Nuclear War between the US and China

The Simpsons apparently predict for 2023 that there could be a nuclear war between the US and China.

In one of their episodes, the news anchor can be heard saying, “it is with great sadness that I inform you that America and China have declared war. A massive nuclear attack is expected to reach our shores within the hour!”

It comes after a number of previous predictions came true.

Game of Thrones prediction

A 2017 episode also seemed to predict Daenerys Targaryen's big plot twist on an episode of "Game of Thrones."

US voting

In 2008, The Simpsons showed Homer trying to vote for Barack Obama in the US general election, but a faulty machine changed his vote.

Four years later, a voting machine in Pennsylvania had to be removed after it kept changing people's votes for Barack Obama to ones for his Republican rival Mitt Romney.

Donald Trump as US president

In the 2000 episode, 'Bart to the Future', the show goes next level on its prediction talents when it name drops Donald Trump as having been POTUS.

The episode features Lisa being president.

While in the Oval Office, we hear her say: "As you know, we've inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump."

In 2017, Trump became the 45th President of the United States.

Siegfried and Roy tiger attack

The Simpsons parodied entertainers Siegfried & Roy in a 1993 episode called "$pringfield (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling)."

During the episode, the magicians are viciously mauled by a trained white tiger while performing in a casino.

In 2003, Roy Horn of Siegfried and Roy was attacked during a live performance by Montecore, one of their white tigers.

Roy lived but sustained severe injuries in the attack.
