Detecting Major World Events Using Osint, Through Google Maps and Pizza (signalslice.sebastianalexis.com)

You may be familiar with the interesting phenomenon where pizza locations near the Pentagon seem to get large spikes in traffic right before major events - a great example being the recent strikes on Iran, which also raised traffic significantly for nearby pizza shops. Using the Google Maps API, this process can be automated and visualized, as seen here.

Fun idea.

The memes are very funny, but I also am unsure what to make of it. Is the "unusually busy" feature mean like once a year business or one out of every ten days?

Love this idea! Really relevant too!

cool

FWIF, pretty sure the Pentagon now orders from further away in Arlington or Alexandria.

Are backtests available for these indicators?
