The "Electric Scooters" (Episode: "Bart Gets an F", 1990)

The Simpsons has earned quite the reputation for seemingly predicting the future. It’s actually a bit of a meme at this point, with fans pointing out how many things in the real world appear to have been "predicted" by the show, sometimes years in advance. While some of these predictions are purely coincidental or the result of broad satire, others do seem oddly prescient.

The "Electric Scooters" (Episode: "Bart Gets an F", 1990)

• What happened: Homer and Marge are seen riding small electric scooters, a quirky nod to the future of transportation.
• Reality: In the 2010s, electric scooters (companies like Lime and Bird) became a common mode of transportation in urban areas. These scooters provide a quick and eco-friendly way to travel short distances, reducing reliance on cars for city commuting.
