From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Have you accidentally missed a couple of episodes of The Simpsons? Worry no more, as Youtuber John Hatfield has created a way for you to catch up on the first 500 episodes in no time at all.
Utilising the latest in YouTube advancements, Hatfield sewed the massive number of episodes into a 360-degree sphere, allowing you to move the camera around the sphere to watch certain bits.
Unfortunately, you’re not going to be able to watch them one at a time; instead, you’ll have at least 21 on screen at any moment, with the noise of all 500 mangled together into a nightmare scenario.
Notably, at the beginning there is a lot of synchronisation between episodes; you can see that certain seasons kept the intro short while others had an extended edition or featured a lengthy couch gag.
Watch below and use your mouse to navigate around the sphere.
This isn’t the first time someone has put a tonne of episodes from a single show together. In January last year, a video of every Friends episode played simultaneously emerged.
The Simpsons, meanwhile, is currently into its 26th season. It was recently revealed that there will be a live-animated episode featuring Homer doing a live Q&A.
