A popular YouTuber “Shane Dawson” recently released a conspiracy video about a specific way pizzas are made at Chuck E Cheese. I guess you can say that he smelled a rat. The family entertainment center supposedly serves pizza made from leftover slices. In the video he explains how the slices are different sizes and appear uneven. Since Dawson was a child he has always believed that the staff has collected leftover pizza turns it into a pie, reheats the whole thing and serves it to their customers.As you can see in the picture the pepperoni pizza cut in half with one slice often don’t line up with the slice next to them. Dawson hasn’t been the only person that has been questioning this. There have been multiple people specifically on Yahoo answers, that have wondered the same thing. After the video was released to a huge audience of 20 MILLION subscribers, Chuck E Cheese has released a statement to People Magazine . “The claims made in this video about Chuck E. Cheese’s and our pizza are unequivocally false, no conspiracies here – our pizzas are made to order and we prepare our dough fresh in restaurant, which means that they’re not always perfectly uniform in shape, but always delicious.” Once again this is just a theory not a fact.
The Simpsons predicting the future has been a big thing for a long time. One prediction was the ebola outbreak. The show aired this in 1997 and the ebola outbreak happened in 2014. This installment saw Marge offer to read a depressed Bart a book titled Curious George and the Ebola Virus. This moment was widely circulated during the 2014 American Ebola outbreak when YouTube user Thecontroversy7 created a video laying out a theory revolving around The Simpsons‘ predictive tendencies.
A big one that happened was Donald Trump's Presidency. The showed aired this happening in 2000 and then in 2016 he became the 45th president of the United States. When Bart flashes forward into adulthood, viewers learn that Lisa not only becomes president, but inherits “quite a budget crunch” from her predecessor, Donald Trump. “The country is broke?” she asks her aides in one scene. “How can that be?”
At the time, the real Trump presidency was still 16 years away. However, in a 2016 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, writer Dan Greaney explained the joke was meant as a warning to the country. “That just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom,” he said. “It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane.
Another big prediction was the Faulty Voter Machines. The show aired this in 2008 and it became true in 2012. In a bit inspired by the 2008 presidential election, Homer tries to vote for Barack Obama only to have a voting machine record his selection as John McCain several times. Coincidentally, when it came time for Obama to run for a second term in 2012, video footage emerged of a Pennsylvania machine switching a vote from Obama to one for his Republican opponent, Mitt Romney. The machine was reportedly taken out of commission.
