The Simpsons' prediction for the 17th is scaring everyone.

The Simpsons have set the date. November 17. What is actually going to happen? Around November 1, 2026, A nameless account on X posted a brief request. Watch the last 15 seconds of this episode of The Simpsons Get ready for the great blackout on November 17. In just a few days, the clip had already gone viral on TikTok, via Instagram and WhatsApp groups And it was translated into Spanish, Portuguese, English, and Portuguese. One more detail with each new version. Three days without electricity. Bank accounts emptied. 90 days without internet. On stage, an elderly Lisa tells her grandchildren about the day the world went dark and state the date. November 17 The curious thing is that there actually is an official event scheduled for the same day. And it was not invented by any anonymous account. Is it a coincidence, or does Springfield know something we don't? You know we love unraveling mysteries here, don't we? There's one that holds back a lot of people.

Scan the QR code or visit the link in the description and in the pinned comment, make sure before it ends. Look, it's ending, you see? Let's start with what actually appears on the screen. The first piece is the episode itself, and it exists as such, not as a montage. It is the seventh episode of season 35, aired in 2023. The family is gathered together near Thanksgiving Day. The American holiday at the end of November, Lisa, already elderly, recalls a massive blackout that left everyone without electricity, No phone and no communication whatsoever. The date she mentions is indeed November 17th. But there's one detail that almost nobody tells you. The episode does not state the year. No, 2026 does not appear at any point, neither in the dialogue nor in the image. It was the internet that set the year. And there's more—this very rumor has circulated before, in November 2024. Profiles from around the world ensured that the great blackout The Simpsons would take place on November 17, 2024. The day arrived, the day passed, and the light kept burning. Why did the same story return with such intensity two years later? The answer is in the second piece. On September 16, 2026, the FCC, the agency that regulates communications in the United States, made an announcement on November 17, at 2:20 PM, Washington time. She and FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, They will activate the National Alert System. In Brasília time, this occurs at 4:20 p.m. At this moment, radios and televisions throughout the country will go off the air. the programming for about one minute, with an emergency message on the screen and a distinctive sound. And then everything returns to normal. Think about the effect of this. On one side, a drawing that speaks of a blackout on November 17. At the end, a government that will exactly on this day interrupt as TVs throughout the country with an alert message. To those who already suspect everything, it seems like proof, doesn't it? But one must be fair. The test does not cut off the power, It does not bring down the internet and has no relation to Brazil. The United States has been conducting this type of national test for years. like a fire drill. But... for an entire country. The third piece is Brazilian. On Friday, November 6, The National Civil Defense published on social media a step-by-step guide to assembling an emergency kit water, non-perishable food, medicine lantern, batteries, and radio for the family to endure 72 hours alone. In a few hours, The search for "civil defense alert 72 hours" exceeded one million on Google. The comments are flooding in. Will there be war? Will there be a blackout? Does it have anything to do with the Simpsons? The civil defense itself? He had to respond with good humor. There was nothing mysterious in the air, nor any alien invasion. The orientation was preventive, and it was precisely on the day that IMET listed 325 cities On red alert due to an early cold front. The fourth piece came from outside. At the end of October, The American magazine Newsweek published a map with 33 countries. that guide the population to store water The food at home among them. United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, Japan, and the United States. And a post on social media picked up this map and asked just one question. What do they know that we don't know? Now, put it all together. A drawing that speaks of a blackout. A warning test scheduled for the same day. 33 countries requesting food stock. And Brazil talking about a 72-hour kit. Separated. These are common news, aren't they? Now, gather. The perfect theory has been unveiled. There is a name for this. Apophenia is what psychologists call the tendency to the human brain to perceive connection among things that have no connection whatsoever. The same mechanism that makes us see a face in a cloud or in a wall socket. For thousands of years, this instinct saved our lives. Who saw a figure in the woods and ran away survived. Even though, most of the time, it was only the wind. And those who stopped to check sometimes never returned home. Well, the problem is that today, that very same instinct... Receives thousands of news items, videos, and rumors every day, And keeps doing what she has always done, connecting the dots. When the dots form a famous drawing, a U.S. government test and a civil defense alert The connection seems too obvious to ignore, isn't it? The fifth item is the question everyone asks. Can the entire world be wiped out at the same time? Technically, there is no global electrical grid. Each country or group of countries has its own system. And for the entire planet to go dark all at once, hundreds would have to be demolished Different networks at the same time. Giant blackouts do happen, indeed. In 2012, India experienced one of the worst incidents in its history, reaching hundreds of millions of people. And in April 2025, Spain Portugal was left almost entirely in the dark for hours. It was there that many people realized how fragile modern life is. Trains stopped in the middle of the track, traffic lights went out, Elevators got stuck with people inside Card payments stopped working and who didn't have a single cent in their pocket I couldn't buy any bottle of water. Well, in many homes the only source of news was The old battery-powered radio forgotten at the back of a drawer. Well, it was just a few hours. Now imagine three days. There is still a scenario that scientists take very seriously, an extreme solar storm. In 1859, the so-called Carrington Event. It was so strong that telegraph wires sparked. And some operators received electric shocks. At that time, almost nothing depended on electricity. Today, a storm of this intensity could damage satellites. and large transformers in various parts of the world. In that case, the blackout would be real, but nobody. Neither drawing nor government can mark the date years in advance of a solar storm. Now, the counterpoint. Let's go. The Simpsons have been on the air since 1989. and have accumulated over 750 episodes. When drawing about technology, politics and catastrophe for more than 35 years, It is inevitable that some scene will resemble the future. And no one counts the jokes that never came to pass. The most famous case is that of an episode from the year 2000, showing Donald Trump as former president of the United States. At the time, it seemed just an absurd joke. Years later, It became the favorite proof of those who believe the series sees the future. But the screenwriter himself explained that this was a deliberate exaggeration. The worst scenario he could imagine—a warning, not a prophecy. Well, notice something. Almost all of the correct predictions are pending. as technology, surveillance, robots, and politics. Things that any attentive person had already noticed growing. Events with a scheduled date, such as a a blackout on a specific day are precisely the kind of predictions the series has never gotten right. And many the forecasts that circulate and do not exist. The series' producer, Matt Silverman, has already said that several viral images They are montages made by people who have nothing to do with the program. In the case of the Blackout, the scene is real. What was invented is the year. Well, it's time to be honest. Let's go. Up until the moment I am writing this video. No authority in any country No blackout alert was issued for November 17. What exists is the American one-minute test. Treat the rest as rumor and stay alert. It doesn't cost anything. Perhaps the most interesting part of this story is not the drawing, not the test, nor the map, And yet the speed with which we assemble loose pieces to construct an explanation that distorts fear. A mode without a date is hard to sustain. Fear with a set day and time, at least, seems like something one can wait for. And perhaps the correct question is not The light will go out on November 17th. But another one, if the light were truly to go out tomorrow, Would you be prepared for three days? Do you believe in the predictions of The Simpsons? Do you think it's all just coincidence? And if the blackout happened, What would be the first thing you would do and what is missing in your house?
