If the Simpsons were created today, Homer would be living with his parents, Marge aborted her first child, they're still not married and in a "situationship", both work retail jobs, and Marge is still trying to pay off $80,000 in student loan debt for a degree that never paid off, while Homer dropped out during COVID.
He doesn't eat donuts or drink Duff beer either. He vapes while Marge is a pothead. Both get their news from YouTube and have become increasingly radicalized over the last 4 years. Homer recently joined a Discord server run by Trad Caths, while Marge secretly attended a local DSA meeting last month and thinks it's time to break up with Homer for good because he's turning into a Fascist.
Had a nightmare as a kid that had the brain worm things from Dark City, just realized. Also I am going to pretend im the weird kid from Dark City from now on
I see my cat pawing at catnip stuck in the carpet and... yeah man, I get it... but get a hold of yourself! You're 12 years old, you can't live like this.
