[OC] I did a quick analysis to show that if Joey Chestnut keeps this pace up, he should reach 100 hot dogs in 10 minutes by 2039.

1. Fitting a linear equation to a clearly nonlinear trend. Definitely data is beautiful /s. What does it look like as a log fit?

2. Joey Chestnut downing dogs on that sine wave frequency

3. What was the R-squared for your linear equation?

   If you fit a log rhythmic equation what is the R-squared value and the new projection for 100?

4. eyeballing it, this lines up with the S&P 500 with dips for ’08 crash and ’22 pandemic.

   you should crosspost to r/wallstreetbets

5. He should be able to down 1000 hot dogs by 2325.

6. He’s currently 40 years old. By 2039 he’ll be 55. I really don’t think he’s going to keep improving the way you’re predicting here…
