Whenever things quiet down on the conspiracy theory front, The Simpsons somehow manages to predict another major event.
Matt Groening and his team's uncanny ability to foresee the future has puzzled fans of the animated series for decades, and once again, they've pulled it off.
With each passing year, the list of their accurate predictions keeps growing.
Some notable ones include Lady Gaga's aerial entrance at the Super Bowl, the US facing murder hornets, a disease resembling Covid-19, and Donald Trump's tumultuous presidency.
Fans have noticed that several headline-grabbing events from the past year were already depicted in The Simpsons universe, sparking debates about whether it's just a massive coincidence or something more sinister.
Now, The Simpsons has foreseen one of the most unlikely music collaborations ever seen.

If you're a devoted fan of the show depicting the lives of the yellow family in Springfield, you probably remember the 'Homerpalooza' episode from May 1996.
Nearly thirty years later, it's back in the spotlight, but not because of Homer's antics trying to become a carnival freak to impress his kids.
Instead, it's due to the celebrities who made guest appearances in the episode.
Auto Draft Rock icon Peter Frampton made a guest appearance alongside bands Sonic Youth and The Smashing Pumpkins in The Simpsons episode. Also joining the lineup was the legendary hip-hop group Cypress Hill, featuring B-Real, Sen Dog, and Eric Bobo.
However, it's Cypress Hill that found themselves entangled in the strange world of Simpsons-related conspiracy theories.
In the episode 'Homerpalooza', a roadie at a music festival navigates the backstage area with a group of formally dressed men holding classical instruments, calling out, "Hello bands, who's playing with the London Symphony Orchestra?"
"Come on people somebody ordered a London Symphony Orchestra...possibly while high," he quips. "Cypress Hill, I'm looking in your direction."
Auto Draft After a brief discussion among the musicians, they tentatively admit to possibly hiring the orchestra and inquire if they're familiar with their hit song, 'Insane in the Brain'.
Deciding to give it a try, the unlikely ensemble delivers an electrifying rendition of the track, earning Marge's approval with her exclamation, "Now this, I like!"
Nearly three decades later, the improbable prediction has materialized as Cypress Hill announced their collaboration with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall on July 10th later this year.
Auto Draft The band expressed their excitement, stating: "We are thrilled to be performing with the London Symphony Orchestra in such a prestigious venue as the Royal Albert Hall. It's a dream come true, a collaboration only The Simpsons could have predicted."
Kathryn McDowell DBE, the managing director of the orchestra, commented: "After years of playful banter on social media, many fans began to believe it was merely wishful thinking. However, the LSO is delighted to finally take the stage with Cypress Hill and anticipate an unforgettable musical experience!
"Many thanks to the creators of The Simpsons for the idea and to AEG Artistic and PolyArts for making it all happen."
Tickets for the event will be available for purchase starting at 10:00 am on March 27th, so make sure to take a break from your daily Simpsons predictions obsession to secure yours.
