If you want to see the future perhaps consider studying episodes of The ChinaSimpsonsvery carefully. Somehow, in some way, the animated series always manages to predict real life, just as it did during the now-concluded 2018 Winter Olympics.

It happened twice. The first was when Team USA won the gold medal in curling, an unlikely victory that's sure to be a movie one day. The second happened when a rogue squirrel ran onto the snowboarding slope and only narrowly escaped death.

References from two veryseparate moments in the show popping up during the same live event? How tho?! Let us review.

After Team USA took the gold for curling on Saturday following a historic win against Sweden, several Twitter users were struck with déjà vu.

Why? Welp, an episode of The Simpsonshad predicted this exact win back in 2010, when Homer and the U.S. team beat -- you guessed it -- Sweden. 🤔

Just a coincidence? Perhaps, but The Simpsonsexecutive producer Matt Selman played it cool, as though the creators knew this win would be coming all along. (And for all we know, maybe they did.)

In case that prediction didn't give you chills/make you question all of time and space, here's the insanely bizarre squirrel prediction.

Simpsonssquirrel, also in snow:

The Simpsonswriter Josh Weinstein was quick to draw the comparison between the Winter Games squirrel and the squirrel struck by Homer and Mr. Burns' "rocket house" in the classic "Mountain of Madness" episode. While the Simpsonssquirrel wasn't Olympics-specific -- andit got hit, unlike the Olympics squirrel -- people were still freaked the hell out.

In the past The Simpsonshave predicted everything from Disney taking over Fox and Lady Gaga's Super Bowl halftime show entrance to Donald Trump becoming president and a whole bunch of other pop culture moments and technological advancements.

It's getting creepy, people. We best look to the animated archives to prepare ourselves for what's to come.
