New Delhi: An influencer’s claim on global internet outage on 16 January 2025 has left social media in splits, with some wittily remarking that they will save the video for future trolling.
The video deriving its source from one of the episodes of the iconic TV show “The Simpsons” showed that the whole world will face an internet blackout on January 16, 2025.
Over the past several year, The Simpsons has gained immense popularity for its uncanny and bizarre similarity with real turn of events. Social media users have repeatedly used clips from The Simpsons, funnily terming the creators as time travelers.
Social media users were however quick to find wit and sarcasm in the now-viral video that spreads rumors on unavailability of internet on 16 January.
The Instagram video shared by the influencer on global internet outage has garnered over 45 million views on Instagram.
“Remembering 16th January,” commented a user. “I will save the video and abuse on January 16,” wrote another.
