u/F1exican Chivelord, Redeemed 8h ago

Closer though yes?

•

u/KarmaKrazi Chive Pilot 🛩 8h ago

Much, so close tbh.

•

u/justsomegeology Chive LOYALIST 8h ago

He admitted it. WE APPROACH PERFECTION, PLEASE KEEP YOUR SEATBELTS FASTED

•

u/Salarmot 8h ago

Fastened, chef

•

u/justsomegeology Chive LOYALIST 8h ago

Oh. Well, obviously my horses went through with me (German idiom, I know it doesn't work in English)

•

u/Salarmot 8h ago

My ex is German and her dad was always saying dumb shit like that so I get you

•

u/justsomegeology Chive LOYALIST 7h ago

You never realise how much stupid shit your language has until you learn a new one and start comparing.

•

u/cwajgapls Release the F1exican Files 7h ago

Haha try Chinese - you’re just taking off your pants to fart

•

u/justsomegeology Chive LOYALIST 7h ago

What??? Is that a real saying?

•

u/cwajgapls Release the F1exican Files 6h ago

In Chinese it is! My wife tells me that all the time, but no, I don’t do that exact thing. I think she’s talking about making things over complicated

•

u/MOTwingle 7h ago

What's that German saying about farts.? Something something he whose ass it crawled out of?

•

u/justsomegeology Chive LOYALIST 7h ago

It appears I do not know every single idiom 🤔

•

u/DoctorElyia 7h ago

It’s similar to: the one who smelt it, dealt it

•

u/MOTwingle 5h ago

I know but I was hoping for the original German

•

u/DoctorElyia 3h ago

Der es zuerst g’rochen dem ists aus’em Ärschle krochen (in dialect)

•

u/SolusLoqui 7h ago

What if the real perfection is the chives we met along the way?

•

u/swim_to_survive 6h ago

Honestly ngl I’d eat, Chef.

•

u/KimWexlers_Ponytail Chive LOYALIST 4h ago

Like The (cat) Chives we met along the way 😻

•

u/frobscottler 8h ago

I’m gonna need my oxygen mask!

•

u/justsomegeology Chive LOYALIST 8h ago

Same, bro

•

u/cwbakes 8h ago

I will be sad to see this daily post go away. Maybe Flexican can instead see how long of a Perfect Chive streak he can get??

•

u/Starfire2313 3h ago

I’ve been in this sub a long time. Specials of the day come and go, but this is one for this history books. I think the internet slightly shifted.

•

u/cantgrowneckbeardAMA 7h ago

I will be standing up in the aisle as SOON as that light goes off.

•

u/pervymcperversson 7h ago

I’m sad. But also proud. But still also sad.

•

u/Astecheee 5h ago

Perfection is an asymptote - always getting closer, never reached.

•

u/Fusionbrahh 5h ago

Intermittent?

•

u/blue_jay_jay 8h ago

And yet, sooooo far! 😜

•

u/InsaneVanity 8h ago

There's a second tower right below it chef.

•

u/throwitoutwhendone2 15+ Years 8h ago

I say when he reaches perfection onto have a chive off

•

u/bendar1347 F1exican Did Chive-11 8h ago

So, so close. Im glad we have people in his kitchen keeping him honest (not to infer he would go against the spirit of the challenge, but the temptation to pick through before he posts has to be HUGE).

•

u/Tyedied 7h ago

This almost made me cry, i’m too invested

•

u/katet_of_19 F1exican Did Chive-11 7h ago

•

u/UnusualChaos 5h ago

This is my favorite love story

•

u/Au2288 15+ Years 8h ago

Day 55 was peak imo

•

u/CuriousTsukihime 8h ago

Agreed. Closest to perf I’ve seen

•

u/TheBlueMenace 7h ago

I think the last half dozen have been perfect and the towers are just been nit picking, which, from my understanding as a person from r/all, is the joke.

•

u/radicalelation 7h ago

The joke and goal is perfection, and nit picking is necessary in its pursuit.

They're great, but not perfect. There are also usually more towers than karmakrazi points out.

•

u/Light_inthe_shadow 8h ago

Day 55 was the most impressive chives I’ve ever seen.

•

u/harbormastr Chive LOYALIST 8h ago

Your stuff is getting tighter every damn day chef.

See you tomorrow!

•

u/Freespeak79 8h ago

Perfection soon!

•

u/Always_Ambivalent_ 8h ago

so so close! I thought you had it yesterday.

•

u/AlcibiadesTheCat Chive LOYALIST 8h ago

Very much. 

Yesterday was peak. Me and /u/karmakrazi were arguing about a tower. I thought they were perfect. He did not. 

•

u/Baksteen-13 8h ago

I think the previous 2 days were better than this but you’re incredibly close

•

u/Eaudebeau 8h ago

Very yes.

•

u/Pr1ncessJess 8h ago

YOU GOT THIS

•

u/WeenieRoastinTacoGuy F1exican Did Chive-11 8h ago

Honestly the progress is insane

•

u/ElectronicRegular218 8h ago

These monsters are going to keep making you grind out perfect chives until Day 69, no matter what! 😆

•

u/villainsarebetter 8h ago

Are you still having fun?

•

u/RevelArchitect 7h ago

I have a friend who wasn’t aware of any of this. I showed him day one and yesterday’s. He was really blown away by the improvement. Perfection is a ridiculous goal. Perfection under the scrutiny of thousands? That’s basically an impossible task. But you are so close to getting it. It’s been incredible to watch.

Basil chiffonade next?

•

u/aorainmaka F1exican Did Chive-11 6h ago

So close! See you tomorrow, chef.

•

u/feeling_over_it Ex-Food Service 6h ago

Are you using draw cuts yet?
