The full tweet referenced by the article:
If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
It kinda makes you wonder why the fuck they don’t just put a big freezer of quick stuff in their cafeteria and just call in kitchen people when this sort of thing happens. They can just restock after the fact instead of risking an obvious indicator of upcoming insanity. Does OMB and DoD not know about the pizza index?
As long as it doesnt pass its Hold Time for food safety, and the walk on cooler/freezer is below the foodservice temps, it can be re-served the next day. Probably at a discount or even with a note about messing with the pizza index. As the Index has become more common its more important to have fake days to send (reddit) into a frenzy and begin “predicting an imminent action”.
Reddit “predicted” strikes on Iran “totally this weekend” like 2 weeks before it happened based solely on this index. It has value for ongoing operations since staff will do OT for weeks at a time for it, but intermittent spikes while in a ramp up to war aren’t gonna be the smoking gun they want it to be.
But also barring this, it’ll be something else like a DC-NoVA traffic meter, or a parking lot check
