The PPI (Pentagon Pizza Index [Link] - I wish they were not sponsored by polymarket… But ya got to keep the lights on…) is the latest of my new favorite silly OsInt tools. When shit is going down, a cartoonish amount of pizza gets ordered because people are stuck at the office late into the evenings.
And its not just governments, people were preparing for Valve’s upcoming Deadlock update hours in advance because we saw a spike in pizza orders for the staff overnight through each major chains online activity maps.
What are some other ones you like? I like having fun things like that to look into when I’m wondering if something is going on
Anecdote:
A while ago my partner and I were sitting together in bed playing something when an unusually large jet flew right overhead. Which is also unusual. I’ve lived at my place a while and I know the air traffic patterns. There are a few military bases around and the only thing that flies close to me that I can hear are helicopters (side story, I saw 5-6 Chinooks flying all together once and I was so fucking thrilled)
I used flightradar24 to find what the hell just rattled my home apart; it was a MASSIVE jet, a c5 super Galaxy . It passed over the way my window faces so I was able to see it and holy fuck was I awestruck. I’ve lived somewhere else near a base and routinely had smaller cargo planes pass a few thousand to hundreds of feet over me. Those were still impressive. But this will probably be the biggest plane I see in flight and it was incredible
I have seen the Spruce Goose though! It wasn’t in flight, just in a museum
