1. A flurry of activity at pizza delivery outlets near the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, is a surprisingly accurate predictor of war, as hungry military leadership hunkers down to monitor unfolding military activities.

   As painstakingly documented by X account Pentagon Pizza Report, a “busier than usual” indicator on the Google Maps profile of the Domino’s in Arlington has been associated with major acts of war taking place around the world.

   That was again the case on Thursday night, when the franchise received an onslaught of orders — almost perfectly coinciding with Israel’s devastating attack on Iran.

   “The Pentagon Pizza Index has been a surprisingly reliable predictor of seismic global events — from coups to wars — since the 1980s,” The Economist’s head of data journalism Alex Selby-Boothroyd wrote in a LinkedIn post.

2. Real homies remember the absolute shitty cafe near the joint staff hallway that was open 24 hours. We used to hit that up during the night. It was awful but it did the trick.

   Nobody has time to walk all the way out to the parking lot to pick up pizza.

3. Wonder if the type of pizza / toppings combinations can indicate more details on what type of attack, by which specific units or on which region

4. Could someone make a Pentagon pizza order tracker app?

5. The war rooms must be fragrant

6. One bite everyone knows the rules

7. What about the McDonalds at The Pentagon?
