“Blinky!”: ‘The Simpsons’ fans celebrate as three-eyed fish caught in Greenland

Fans of the animated television show “The Simpsons” have taken notice of yet another prophetic storyline. The show has previously predicted a presidency for Donald Trump, a speech on climate change by Greta Gerwig, and the release of the Apple Vision Pro, among other things. The latest prediction to come true is the giant three-eyed fish Blinky, featured in a 1990 episode. A similar fish was caught off the coast of Greenland last week, and fans were quick to take notice.

The fish with three eyes was caught off the coast of Greenland and was photographed by a Reddit user. Fans of “The Simpsons” quickly noticed the similarity to the three-eyed fish featured in the show. Social media was filled with posts from fans acknowledging the show’s reputation for predicting events that later come true. Some wrote that “Simpsons predictions always come true,” while others joked that they had finally discovered where the fictional town of Springfield is located.

In the episode, “Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish,” Bart catches Blinky while fishing with his sister Lisa. The three-eyed mutation is caused by nuclear waste from the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, where the children’s father, Homer, works. The owner of the plant, Mr. Burns, is running for governor and tries to deny that Blinky is a mutant. He instead claims that the fish is a step in the evolutionary ladder, in a desperate bid to win the election.

Later in the episode, Mr. Burns is served Blinky for dinner at the Simpsons’ home, causing him to spit it out and lose the election. The reality of the three-eyed fish, whether a mutation or evolutionary step, is still up for debate. However, fans of “The Simpsons” are convinced that the show’s writers have a magical ability to predict future events.

In addition to the three-eyed fish, Reddit users also drew attention to an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus that bears a striking resemblance to Marge Simpson. Although this has not been confirmed as a true prediction, it shows the loyalty and excitement that fans of the show have for its time-traveling tales
