1999 - The Simpsons predicts everything that happens in the world
The messed up part is that this, along with the Trump presidency, were predicted as jokes. These were seen as things so ridiculous that not only could they not actually happen, the idea of them was funny. So every time a Simpsons prediction comes true, the Simpsons wasn’t really trying to predict the future, they were making a cynical joke because they thought the real future would be better than it actually is. We’re living in the timeline where all the Simpsons’ worst assumptions about the world were 100% right.
Meet The Swim Reaper, death taking an extended holiday on the beaches of New Zealand and sharing their vacation snapshots with the world on Instagram. From beach yoga in the morning:
“NZ is amaze! Heaps of mean beaches and swimming holes, and a long line of people willing to do dumb stuff. The perfect mix. Ha! Yeah, so I’m just hanging out all summer, waiting to reap some peeps. Swim dumb and I’ll be seeing you soon.”
The Swim Reaper’s endless beach holiday is an ongoing campaign created by the government of New Zealand in effort to promote water safety.
Water Safety New Zealand estimates that about 105 people die from drowning each year in the island nation, with 56 lives already claimed this year. The worst part? These deaths are totally preventable, and most of them tend to befall young males who swim drunk.
So be safe at the beach so that The Swim Reaper can spend more time sipping tropical drinks, playing volleyball, and creating these delightfully morbid getaway photos and videos for us to enjoy.
