“The Simpsons” Accurately Predicted the End of “Games of Thrones” Years Ago (Among Other Things)

Game of Thrones is over, and most of the show’s fans are incredibly disappointed. Naturally, a lot of them have turned to other shows and the internet to try to find some kind of closure.

*spoilers* You have been warned.

One of the most shocking/frustrating moments of the last season was the second-to-last episode, The Bells. In a fit of somewhat inexplicable rage, Daenerys Stormborn and her dragon, Drogon, completely torch King’s Landing even after the citizens of the city had already surrendered. Dani goes on to slaughter thousands of innocent men, women, and children, along with her entire character arc.

The insane thing is, this carnage was predicted by The Simpsons back in 2017! It’s as if the show’s creators knew this was coming.

In this episode, “Serfsons” you’ll see Marge, Homer, Bart, and Lisa looking down over their city dressed in medieval clothing.

“Look,” says Bart, pointing out the massive red dragon burning down the city, “the dragon is burning our village.”

“I love our life,” Homer says.

Easy for Homer to say. He’s a cartoon! When this GoT episode aired we were all like, “I hate my life!” No? Just me?

Anyway, moving on. After the showed aired, Twitter immediately clapped back:

It seems The Simpsons have a knack for predicting the future. 18 times, actually! Like when the US beat Sweden in curling at the Olympic games (Episode “Boy Meets Curl”) and the Siegfried and Roy tiger attack (Episode “$pringfield”).

Check out a bunch of other things The Simpsons got right:

Pretty interesting…

Man Discovers a Bear Has Been Bribing His Dog with Deer Bones to Gain Access to the Trash Can

Personally, I’d be scared s***less if I found a bear was hanging out near my dog/house. Twitter user Jesse Jordan is clearly a better man than I am, as he was mad about this situation for an entirely different reason.

Jordan, who lives in a remote part of Canada, was shocked to find that his dog, Brick, has been accepting deer bones as a gift from a smart bear who is, in turn, granted access to Jordan’s trash. And you know how much bears loooooooove trash.

As you can see, Brick was bribed with some pretty big bones, so you can sympathize with his situation. I mean, how could he possibly turn those bad boys down?!?!

Jordan had to face the hard truth that Brick is just not cut out for this kind of work.

Indeed, this is an impeachable offense. And although Jordan was pretty miffed by this offense, he had to admit that Brick is a damn good boy.

People on Twitter loved the story and shared their thoughts about Jordan and his sidekick, Brick.

And Jordan had one final thought for all the Tweeters out there.

Oh Brick, you really did it this time…

But we shouldn’t be too hard on him, right? I mean, find me a furry doggo that would ever turn down a heaping helping of deer bones.

Go ahead…I’ll wait.

That’s right, the answer is, they would all do the same exact that good ol’ Brick did in this situation.

Do you have any similar stories with your pets? Share them in the comments below, por favor!

These Alternate Endings for “Game of Thrones” Are Easily Better Than What We Got

Game of Thrones was one of the greatest television shows ever made, both in terms of story/cast and in terms of the sheer scope the money spent per episode.

It’s last season, however, was… disappointing to say the least.

Let’s face it: season 8 was pretty universally terrible, so let’s see what the internet had to offer by way of a more satisfying ending.

The Wire + Game of Thrones = ???

The comedically short ending!

This is legit the ending I wanted. If Dany is gonna go mad… GO FULL TARGARYEN!

No. I can’t do this to Arya’s epic win.

Maybe it would have been better with a John Hughes ending?

And a lot of people wanted this to happen, but Jon wasn’t fireproof like Dany. Sorry fan family!

Didn’t we actually get this ending, though?

Oh shit! Power couple FTW!

George! You holding out on us?!

The Kingslayer indeed

The Newhart ending!

The Night King was trying to kill himself? Nahhhhh…

And Ghost is the best doggo in the Seven Kingdoms!

Good job everybody. I’m officially impressed.

Now then… what will the Game of Thrones spinoff series be? Arya on the high seas? A prequel set thousands of years in the past?

Tell us HBO! We want to know!!!

A Dark Family Secret Could Explain Karen Carpenter’s Eating Disorder

Back in the 1970s, Karen Carpenter and her husband, Richard, were a musical force to be reckoned with, selling over 100 million records before Karen’s longstanding battle with anorexia forced her to retire from the stage and eventually ending in her untimely death at the age of 32.

While a CBS documentary called The Karen Carpenter Story (you can rent it on Amazon) makes no mention of the potential reasons for Karen’s struggle with her body image, author Randy Schmidt blames her struggle on her mother, Agnes.

During the making of the documentary Agnes said there was no reason to cast an ugly light on the family, refusing to put any discussion of potential familial negativity – but Schmidt believes the real reason she was uninterested in delving into the past was that Karen’s anorexia stemmed directly from her mother’s “inability to love.” He claims that Agnes withheld affection from her daughter starting at a young age and continuing through high school.

Schmidt’s book, Little Girl Blue: The Life of Karen Carpenter, details Karen’s eating disorder, which began shortly after the “chubby teenager” graduated from high school. Her health took a nosedive after she began performing since she didn’t like the way she looked onstage, and she regularly chose to hide in fluffy blouses or jumpers when she wasn’t in front of an audience.

She was so thin that fans thought she might have cancer, and since anorexia was (and often remains) a taboo topic, no one talked about what was really wrong with her.

Karen herself denied that anything was wrong or that she was ill, and, despite attempts by friends to convince her to see a therapist, her parents’ attitude that psychiatrists were for “crazy people” dissuaded her.

Despite eventual treatment, she continued to harm herself with laxatives and unprescribed thyroid medication, a trend that doctors were unable to reverse when she was finally admitted to a hospital.

She died at just 32 years old, most of her dreams and career aspirations unrealized.

15+ Kids Reveal the Shocking Reasons They Were Disowned by Their Parents

Can you imagine ever having such a horrible fight with your child that you’d disown them? Even if you don’t have kids right now, it’s pretty hard to imagine, right?

Sadly, it does happen. Sometimes the kids might actually be at fault, but more often then not it’s the parents who simply cannot accept something about their child.

These people were disowned by their own parents, and these confessions explain why.

The reasons will shock you.

1. Reach out to them if you think enough time has passed. You never know…

Photo Credit: Whisper

Photo Credit: Whisper

19. Well, best they’re not around you and your family then.

Photo Credit: Whisper

Listen, many parents aren’t people we trust or respect, so not having them in our lives in any meaningful way won’t hurt us.

Still, it is nice to have somebody in your corner when you need it, and a good, loving parent or parents can really help out.

What do you think?

Snapchat’s Gender Switch Filter Is Being Used for Shenanigans, and We Love It

Snapchat is all about the fun filters these days, and the latest feature allows users to see a gender-swapped version of their own face (side-note: I tried it and now I know that I’m GORGEOUS in either gender).

Naturally, it didn’t take long before the internet came up with fun new ways to utilize the feature.

This guy used it to create a Tinder profile…

Yeah, you know A LOT more than two guys did this…

But you know that’s not all. So many more shenanigans are afoot with these filters.

I mean, can people really even be expected to contain themselves with THIS much power?

This guy made a video…

OMG! You are your brother!

Even Miley Cyrus got in on it…

Naturally, none of this has made us feel particularly good about ourselves…

Because we’re still us, right? Right?!?

This account made George Constanza into a lady…

Okay, this isn’t fair…

Why do these look soooooo real?!

I don’t know what’s real anymore.

21 Things Parents Found While Snooping on Their Kids That They Can’t Unsee

As a parent, a significant amount of your time is spent wondering what kind of trouble your kids might be getting into behind your back. Obviously, they’re not about to tell you, so what do you do?

Respect their privacy and hope you raised them well enough to make good choices?

HELL NAW! You start swiping through their phone and computer to see what you can find… until you discover something you can’t unsee, like these 21 parents did.

Photo Credit: Whisper

Seriously, all you parents need to stop going through your kids phone UNLESS you have clearly communicated to them beforehand that’s how it goes. If you’re just randomly peeking into their private life, that is wrong, wrong, wrong.

The end.
