Have you ever accidentally predicted something, or said something that later turned out to be accurate?

You know all those memes about how a show like the Simpsons "predicted" something?

This is basically that, except its YOU doing it.

For example, if you happened to at one point say "honestly, Dances With Wolves would be better if they were all magical blue people," then five years later Avatar gets made.

or "I don't care about this Biden guy. Its not like he's ever gonna become President!" years before he actually does.

On a personal level I recall talking about the possibility that the past is malleable and might even be changing or we're experiencing divergent timelines.... several years later, the Mandela Effect is much-discussed and is one of the more well-known "paranormal" phenomenon.

It doesn't have to be anything big or culture-changing.

Has anyone besides me ever had that happen?

This happens to me a lot. I feel like I have very good predictive algorithms in my code
 
I suspected the coof was artificially produced back when coronapanic was starting in March of 2020.

Beyond the simple cause and effect predictions, I've had deja vu moments where I've dreamt of an event before I livr it. Since I started keeping a dream journal I've been able to avoid these events for the most part.

On Christmas Eve in 2016. I predicted PewDiePie would be evicted from his workstation on Christmas Day. Turns out it actually happened on that day. I was also aware Chris Chan would have allegations of Incest all the way back in 2018 and even expected it might happen before it did. I was also confident Ajit Pai wouldn't be the powerhouse of the internet after net neutrality repealing and would end up being a distant memory with more reverence than tech giants. I even predicted civil unrest in the United States and South Africa getting somewhat more extreme. I even somewhat predicted Kanye West to actually support Hitler.

very pertinent to this thread

understand your nervous system as an ANTENNA of consciousness, not so much as a generator/storage of consciousness
 
Oddly enough I predicted that thousands and thousands of homosexual men would get their penis removed. In my prediction people were actually kicking the dicks off of homosexual men, but when it happened in real life it was evil mengle doctors cutting the penis off of mentally retarded homosexual men. I honestly think a man might have read my posts about homosexual men getting their dicks kicked off and then decided to become a doctor who cuts the penis off of men 10 years later in the future. Honestly. It was like 2013 when I wrote it.
 
I had an argument online with some guy who was going on and on about nuclear war (and blaming Trump for starting one with the Norks or Russians or something stupid like that) and I said outright that the next big threat would be a bioweapon attack if anything, not nukes, which he kept calling impossible and stupid.

Covid started about six months later, and the shithead never once admitted I was right.

My family has a long history of psychic-type predictions, like predicting someone's death the night they die, or feeling a very strong urge to hit the brakes an instant before a car turns the corner in the wrong lane, preventing a deadly collision. My father once won the lottery twice in a role after dreaming about buying a lottery ticket; I think he got the numbers from the dream as well. Those stand out, but there's been dozens of similar events in my family.

I'm not a big believer in psychics, but it's hard to ignore how often this stuff happens in my family. In fact, just a few months ago one of my aunts woke up in the middle of the night absolutely certain that her older brother was killing himself, and she got to his house in time to get him to the hospital to pump his stomach of a bottle of sleeping pills... which ended up revealing a completely unrelated torn artery near his stomach that would've killed him that night anyway if he hadn't tried to kill himself and been sent to the hospital. That was a weird one.

After telling a former boss that we needed to better organize our client files should anything happen to the latter and I'd need to locate client information on my own, they passed away from a combination of old age and health 8 months later. When it happened, I reflected on how my comments were more prophetic than I intended/expected.
 
Watching the "new" seasons of Cops, I have a near 100% accuracy rate on predicting the presence of meth.

Mainly because literally everyone on that show is on meth.
 
In 2012 or 2013, I was talking with a friend about the state of The Opie & Anthony Show, specifically Anthony's habit of tweeting for hours black people and violent crime, allegedly on xanax and Bud Light. I mentioned he's been getting worse, and that some day he would get into a confrontation with a black person IRL; he'd avoid it as usual, then he'd go on Twitter and get himself fired from the show.

My friend pointed out to me I was 100% correct when it happened, and I'd forgotten. It wasn't even a prediction or speculation, certain people in radio/podcasting/streaming put so much of themselves out there, you can predict what'll happen if they encounter certain things.
 
I once had a breakdown in 3rd grade and got my father to cone to my school. I told him not to go anywhere or drive anything. Sure enough, he went driving and totaled his car. He ended up totally fine actually but he really should have died.

Every single negative prediction I have ever made about technology and politics for 20 years has come true, or is about to come true, based on current information.

It's not hard, all you have to do is simply suspect that things get worse, and figure out the how and why after that.
 
Even though I was very pro gay rights back in the early 2000s I refused to adopt the "LGBT" concept as I thought it gave people too much of a tribal mentality and it would become "us vs. them". I didn't like how there was a flag and color associations like it was a fandom or club. I refused to go to pride parades and everything.

I sadly ended up being correct, although I didn't think it would go this far.

I also mentioned that bitcoin was going to collapse about 6 months before it did. The crypodude I had been conversing with scoffed at me for that opinion.
