The Simpsons: Seers or soothsayers? From predicting robots, to Donald Trump's presidency to the Disney-Fox merger, the show's uncanny ability to mirror reality is well-documented. But did they also delve into the microscopic world, prefiguring a chilling sci-fi tale? In 1993's "Treehouse Horror VII," Lisa creates a civilization within a decaying tooth, eerily similar to the Love, Death + Robots episode "Ice Age." Both showcase miniature societies grappling with existential threats, mirroring our own. Did The Simpsons tap into a universal truth, or was it a bizarre coincidence? One thing's for sure: it adds another layer to the show's uncanny ability to predict the unpredictable. So, the next time you watch The Simpsons, keep an eye out for hidden prophecies – they might be closer than you think, even within a germy tooth!
