Global Internet Outage On Jan 16? The Viral Claim And Its Simpsons Connection https://ift.tt/b3B0Yz4 Long-running US TV show, The Simpsons, has gained a reputation for delivering accurate prophesies in recent years. From predicting Donald Trump's first term as the president to calling a future pandemic that will upend the world, old episodes from the show are often used to draw parallels to modern-day events. Now, piggybacking on the prophetic prediction by the creators of Simpsons, a viral video has claimed that the whole world will face an internet blackout on January 16, 2025. The video showing an alleged episode from the show suggests that the global internet shutdown will be caused due to sharks chewing through the undersea cables. The incident seemingly leads to total disruption across the US with people unable to use computers and phones. They are also unable to make payments using credit cards while employees at Apple stores are forced to manually write the orders. The clip also shows what appears to be the US president addressing the reporters angrily about the outage. Almost all the characters in the show are affected by the global outage, except for one - Bart, one of the kids in the Simpsons family as he does not have to do his homework. Social media reacts Social media users often lap up conspiracy theories but the video appears to have garnered largely humorous responses with many laughing at the absurdity of the claims made in the video. "So we're going back to the 80's. Outstanding!" said one user, while another added: "Hope it happens, we'll get a break from working." A third commented: "Do you know how the Internet works? This video is totally fake." Also Read | The Simpsons Does It Again. It's 'Funniest' Prediction Comes True What's the truth? While the video may have gone viral, garnering over 5.6 million views and thousands of comments, the content in it is certainly bogus. There is no such episode in The Simpsons and the entire video appears to be stitched together using AI-prompt-based video tools. The video takes creative liberties, inspired by real-life events. There have been instances of sharks and other sea creatures damaging the undersea cables but rarely it has led to a global outage. Tech companies have taken measures such as wrapping the undersea cables with materials similar to Kevlar to reduce the likelihood of damage but in the odd chance a mega shark chews through the cable -- rest assured, your internet will be fine. https://ift.tt/BqkhgRJ January 15, 2025 at 11:31PM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Viral Video: Shaquille O'Neal Overshadowed By 7-foot-9 Teen Sensation https://ift.tt/tT4Vp0X Even NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal, who stands at 7'1", sometimes finds someone taller than him. The Los Angeles Lakers legend recently shared a TikTok video featuring Florida Gators centre Olivier Rioux, who stands at an impressive 7-foot-9 height. In the funny clip, O'Neal is arguing playfully with a shorter guy before turning towards Rioux. The towering Rioux left the former NBA star appearing more like a guard than the dominant centre that he was meant to be. O'Neal captioned the video as "Pick on someone your own size," embracing the playful moment.

Australian Wife Catches Cheating Husband Through Supermarket Reward Points https://ift.tt/DmM4VoF A woman in Australia managed to uncover her husband's infidelity by discovering his spending using a supermarket rewards programme. As per a video posted by Cass, a private investigator, her client hired her to probe the husband who was exhibiting signs of cheating but needed proof to substantiate the case. "My client, the wife, wanted to find out how her husband was cheating. We were pretty sure he was up to something," Ms Cass said in the video. While the couple lived in Queensland, the husband recently started making frequent trips to New South Wales to visit his family which led to the suspicion as he rarely went there before. The wife checked their joint bank account and found transactions from the grocery store named Coles and a hardware store named Burnings. However, with no specific locations attached to the store names, the wife could not find anything else on her husband. It was then Ms Cass advised the wife to check if they had any joint rewards accounts, such as Everyday Rewards or Flybuys. The couple had an account on Flybuys which led to the unravelling of the mystery. The purchases from Coles and Bunnings were listed with the suburbs where each store was located, and they turned out to be in a Queensland suburb where the husband's ex-girlfriend lived. In another video, Ms Cass shared a tip for catching a cheating partner that simply involved asking to use their phone. In one of the wild cases, a woman discovered that her partner had just used the eggplant emoji, commonly known to represent a penis, even though he had never sent one to her before. Notably, Ms Cass runs a female-run investigative firm that conducts background checks, on-ground mobile surveillance, and social media and dating deep dives to help women.

"Looking at shopping points? That is some heavy detective work if you ask me!" said one user, while another added: "I learn something new everyday. Eggplant emoji...I have to send my wife that." A third commented: "Hahaha, while trying to save a few bucks, he loses his marriage and the costs involved." https://ift.tt/bCOGU0x January 13, 2025 at 08:15AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Pastor Who Predicted Trump's Assassination Bid Now Warns Of A Doomsday Event https://ift.tt/ajI0KrN Brandon Dale Biggs, an Oklahoma pastor and self-proclaimed prophet who said he accurately predicted the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, has come up with another eerie prediction. Mr Biggs said god had shown him a vision of a 10-magnitude earthquake which may kill thousands of people across the US, according to a report in Metro. Mr Biggs claimed that the earthquake would hit the New Madrid fault line, stretching through Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois. 'It was so big, there were 1,800 people who died [along that stretch]. All the houses on cinder blocks were completely shaken to the foundation, they just fell," said Mr Biggs. '[The] New Madrid earthquake [is] so big [and] when it happens the Mississippi River starts it goes out another direction.' Notably, in a YouTube video dated March 14, 2024, Mr Biggs said the US president-elect would be targeted and that a bullet would fly by his ear. “I saw Trump, rising up, and then I saw an attempt on his life. This bullet flew by his ear, and it came so close to his head that it busted his eardrum," Biggs told Pastor Steve Cioccolanti in the video. “And I saw, he fell to his knees during this time frame, and he started worshipping the Lord.” A few months later, Mr Trump narrowly survived an assassination attempt while addressing a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The bullet fired by gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks kissed Mr Trump's right ear before the security officials killed the former. Is a 10-magnitude earthquake possible? Contrary to Mr Biggs' claims, earthquakes of magnitude 10 or greater cannot happen, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The magnitude of an earthquake is related to the length of the fault on which it occurs. That is, the longer the fault, the larger the earthquake. Currently, no fault on Earth is long enough to generate such a megaquake. The largest earthquake ever recorded was a magnitude 9.5 on May 22, 1960 in Chile on a fault that is almost 1,000 miles long. Also Read | Nostradamus' Predictions For 2025: Asteroid Collision To Plague-Like Outbreak And More Other predictions While Mr Biggs has claimed that a massive earthquake is around, Nostradamus' predictions suggest that 2025 may witness a giant asteroid colliding with the Earth, or coming in dangerous proximity to the planet. Born Michel de Nostredame, Nostradamus was a French astrologer and physician who lived in the 1500s and predicted some of the modern-day epochal moments such as Adolf Hitler's rise to power, the September 11 attacks and the COVID-19 pandemic. Similarly, Baba Vanga, another seer popular for predicting global events, warned that catastrophic natural disasters, including earthquakes along the US West Coast and eruption of dormant volcanoes, were possible in 2025. https://ift.tt/jQvxO6N January 12, 2025 at 07:32AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
