We all know the Simpsons. It is a long standing and funny cartoon. But who would have thought satire would eventually become the truth? They predicted things from Farmville to Trump becoming the president of the United States!
Farmville
In the episode 'Bart Carny', the 12th episode of the 9th season, you will see 'Yard Work' simulator on a convention.

Nintendo Wii combined with Virtual reality glasses
The 19th episode of the 6th season contained Bart and another bar goer playing a virtual game.

Guitar Hero
This one is probably not as much as a prediction as two different companies have a different idea on the meaning of Guitar Hero, but it is funny that the second episode of season 14 contained guitar hero future reference(Guitar Hero wasn't released yet).

Wrecking ball Homer
In Season 6 episode 5 homer did the wracking ball thing Miley later used in her song/clip. Only to do it again in the Simpsons movie!

President Trump
Back in 2000, the 17th episode of season 11, Lisa becomes the president and says:"As you know, we’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump." And he is also seen as running for President.

There are lots of things the Simpsons "predicted". Of course the Simpsons aren't fortune tellers, and neither are they profets, they are just cartoon makers, but it is funny to see that the stuff that was made as satire turned into reality.
