About an hour before Iranian state TV first reported loud explosions in Tehran, pizza orders around the Pentagon went through the roof
there are "a multitude of fast food restaurants in the Pentagon complex, but no pizza places"
the account noted three hours later that a gay bar near the Pentagon had "abnormally low traffic for a Thursday night" and said this probably pointed to "a busy night at the Pentagon".
Just some truly incredible analysis.
Pizza and gay bar traffic tipping the hand of global events is the cyberpunk dystopia I was hoping for.
- I never thought about it before, but why/how do some of the most secure places on the planet with some of the most important people in the States get delivery from a local Domino's? It seems like a MASSIVE risk to the people or buildings.
  
  It's one of those things that you don't think about until someone abuses that fact to for far more dangerous information.
  
  Very few local restaurants can produce a lot of "food" on short notice. Even fewer that you'll have a corporate/expense account already open with that makes billing nice and easy for your admin/accounts payable team.
  
  Trump has to order out mcdonalds like once a week id guess. Imagine what a pain in the ass it must be for that McDonalds to be security cleared on par with the white house chef
This is a fairly known way reporters track activities around DC. I recall a similar story about the raid on Bin Laden and food deliveries to the pentagon and White House.
- I was going to say the same. This is not new news. This was revealed decades ago as a way to predict big moves in the Pentagon. Hell, I would be surprised if there wasnt already a tracker website that email blasts upticks in pizza orders. And if there isn't, someone get on it.

This has to be a joke lol!!
This is still happening? I thought they told everyone to start ordering other stuff like Chinese food when shit was going down.
- You can probably just track how much booze is being ordered to Hegseth's office.
- they all probably got fired and replaced with 20 year old trust fund kids from spacex camp do no one knew about the pizza thing anymore!
Employee bonus time. Pizza party!
