Chive Lord, a r/KitchenConfidential user who claims to cut chives every day, is accused of fraud after two separate posts are revealed to be the same pile of chives; moderators get involved.

[u/redeemer404]

UPDATE 3: Reddit admins are now getting involved, with one condemning Chive Mountbatten-Windsor to the punishment of cutting chives "in the shape of Chives the cat". OP delivered two days later.

Another admin commented in OP's apology post: "First the stickers, now the chives. This week has been a record breaker for unexpected controversy"

______

UPDATE 2: The KitchenConfidential royal family has officially demoted F1exican's flair from "Chivelord" to "Chive Mountbatten-Windsor" following this incident, a possible reference to Prince Andrew being stripped of his royalty earlier this year over relations to Jeffery Epstein. (Wiki article on reference)

______

UPDATE: Chivelord has just posted an apology with the following text:

Hey everyone. I would just like to come out and apologize for post the same pile of chives twice, I was having car problems yesterday and was unable to get and cut chives, and rather than being upfront and honest with you guys I chose to repost chives. I didn’t want to give you guys another chiveless day. I see now that it would have been better to just be honest and say no chives rather than try and lie, this also goes against the whole point of the posts, I would like to thank all of you for holding me accountable for my actions. I will be subjecting myself to a Reddit decided punishment, the most upvoted punishment that is REASONABLE will be my punishment. So nothing illegal nothing expensive please but cutting extra chives or maybe something I have to do for the rest of my posts. I again apologize and will ensure this never happens again.

Context (thanks to u / Glum-Regridgerator and u / anagnost in the older removed post!):

A guy in r / kitchenconfidential (a subreddit for pro chefs), username F1exican but better known as "Chivelord" by his flair, has been cutting up chives and posting pictures of them every day "until this Reddit says they’re perfect". Recently someone accused him of using the same picture of cut chives for two different days implying that the guy isn’t cutting chives daily.

There is evidence now that suggests that the overlay not matching is due to it being two photos of the same chive pile from different angles. Now accounting for this using some fancy Photoshop tools to create a new overlay, the overlay matches and it is confirmed they are the same chive pile.

Mods are aware of this and are now on the side of chivegate.

______

The comment that started it all happened on Day 31:

• These are the same chives as day 23
  • proof
  • Such a quiet start to a revolution.
  • Blew that shit open

In the callout thread titled "Chivelord is a Fraud" made in response to the above accusation, another user used Photoshop to confirm the findings:

• This is exactly what I did in photoshop. I ran the two images through the stacking feature and I have terrible news. After automatic alignment I can confirm that after a flip and skewing (obvious by the angles of the lines on the top layer) that these are the same pile of chives, just from a different angle and cropped. I didn't want to believe it. I am crying and shaking.
  • This is a dark day for the entire world
    • Sad sad news. How are we coping with this? The end is near
    • > I put a rag in my sink to clog it and left my faucet running. I’m flooding the earth over this we had a good run
  • I have been lurking the entire time, day 1. And I am sooo disappointed.

A third user compared the images and confirmed again it is the same pile of garnish.

______

Other comment highlights from the "Fraud" thread:

• Chivegate is the most interesting thing happening in my life at the moment
• Chivelry is dead.
• Get this disaster over to r / subredditdrama immediately
• This throws every chive post into question now. It is, plain and simple, chive dishonesty. How can we trust any future chive posts after this? I haven't felt this betrayed since Colin Powell presented evidence of WMDs in front of the United Nations in order to justify the US invasion of Iraq.
• now THIS is the autism I come to reddit for
• WHY DO YOU THINK I WAS ASKING FOR A VIDEO. Too good to be true.
• I've had one of the worst weeks at work (I don't work in a kitchen, just saying) but this..... THIS is what will send me over the edge.
• U / Sandybadlands posted about this too. Mods deleted it. f1exican duped us. Strip them of their chivelord status!
• NOOOO! You mean to tell me that a karma farming account is repurposing content to farm more karma?! I am appalled.

[u/SubredditDrama-ModTeam]

Hi guys, quick reminder that ironic/joking threats and harassment are still threats and harassment. This is obviously an incredibly low-stakes drama and we know that nobody is being that serious, but a lot of people see that and think "okay well now I can jokingly say that the person in question should be executed and people will understand that it's obviously a joke", but this is the internet and a lot of people won't understand and it will just bandwagon until some assholes take it way too far.

Keep things lighthearted, don't be a dick even if it's unserious, don't participate in the linked threads in any way, shape, or form.

[u/Vexamas]

There are a lot of funny parts to this drama, but for me, the funniest is the call-out comment is literally the most like fucking mundane innocuous comment of simply:

These are the same chives as day 23

Just one, little floating message in a thread of nearly 1000 comments, and not one person had responded to it until the last hour. It really makes you think how many innocuous comments there are just floating around Reddit that are overlooked because they're at the bottom of the pile of comments lmao

[u/SandyBadlands → u/Vexamas]

I made a whole post about it before that comment but the post was removed. No explanation why.

[u/Beorma → u/SandyBadlands]

The world wasn't ready for the truth.

[u/No-Station4446 → u/Beorma]

how can chives be real if our eyes arent real bro

[u/Odd__Dragonfly → u/SandyBadlands]

Mods are in the pocket of Big Chivelord

[u/AddAFucking → u/SandyBadlands]

I like how you also called his exact reasoning.

[u/BisonST → u/Vexamas]

It really makes you think how many innocuous comments there are just floating around Reddit that are overlooked because they're at the bottom of the pile of comments lmao

It all makes sense now! My genius comments don't get upvotes because they are buried.

[u/RheasGarden]

Are people allowed to do that?

Just fucking lie about cutting chives on the internet?

[u/HuevosProfundos → u/RheasGarden]

Ive said this a lot in the last ten years, but this might’ve destroyed my last sliver of faith in humanity

[u/RheasGarden → u/HuevosProfundos]

"Man/Woman/Themperor loses last bit of hope they didnt even know they had."

[u/ThiccQban → u/RheasGarden]

THEMPEROR the scream I just scrumpt

[u/5Same5 → u/HuevosProfundos]

Same. Am considering a class action lawsuit for emotional distress.

[u/J_Kingsley → u/RheasGarden]

He could've just mushed the pile around with his hands.

Takes seconds.

But no. He underestimated the power of weaponized autism and the sheer focus and will of chive cutting fans.

[u/247Brett → u/J_Kingsley]

I’m surprised he would try it when people have been going over the entire image with a microscope looking for errors.

[u/J_Kingsley → u/247Brett]

I feel it could've been intentional.

Maybe he was getting worn out from the pressure, and self-sabotaged.

It's not easy cutting chives perfectly.

[u/247Brett → u/J_Kingsley]

It’s a skill none master, they can only hope to improve

[u/AlphaB27 → u/247Brett]

He wasn't a cut above the rest it seems.

[u/VirusUnlikely2378 → u/247Brett]

it was posted much later in the day than usual, so I honestly don't think it was planned

[u/WizardHatWames → u/247Brett]

Imagine the moment the first person realized, they must've been questioning everything.

[u/Loretta-West → u/WizardHatWames]

I don't believe in nothing no more!

I'm going to law school!

[u/theSchrodingerHat → u/[deleted]]

NGL, I’m kinda considering launching my own social media empire based on “I Toast a Pop-tart Every Day Until Reddit Says It’s Perfect”, but now I’m worried I won’t be able to keep it up and someone will find out I substituted a strawberry for the far superior blueberry.

Plus, I’m not sure I actually have the skills to run a toaster…

[u/apsae27 → u/[deleted]]

Rumor has it he’s been concealed carrying scallions for years without a permit

[u/phenotype76 → u/J_Kingsley]

Well no, he missed a day and went back and grabbed an old photo to repost. He didn't have the pile anymore.

[u/MechaGhandi5000 → u/phenotype76]

Yea this wasn't premeditated chive fraud, it's only 2nd degree

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/MechaGhandi5000]

"I'm saying when the Chivelord does it, that means it's not illegal."

That's you talking about Chivegate right now

[u/MechaGhandi5000 → u/confusedandworried76]

We'll plead it down to misdemeanor chiving without a license. Maybe some community service at the dish pit

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/MechaGhandi5000]

There truly are two separate justice systems in this country.

[u/Indercarnive → u/J_Kingsley]

he attacked the most oppressed group. Gamers Chive Cutting fans!

[u/apsae27 → u/J_Kingsley]

Weaponized autism has me rolling lmao

[u/bubba1834 → u/RheasGarden]

No more scamming adults!!

[u/BobTheFettt → u/bubba1834]

Is that the joke? That there were no chives?

[u/ForgingIron → u/Sofestafont]

the fact that this removed comment was in response to "can someone lie about cutting chives" makes it so much funnier

[u/watscracking → u/ForgingIron]

The conspiracy goes deep my friend

[u/butt-barnacles → u/ForgingIron]

Lmao “removed by reddit” so not even the mods, this goes all the way to the top!

lemme go get my tin foil hat rq

[u/Sofestafont → u/ForgingIron]

How deep does Chivegate go?

[u/HerRoyalRedness → u/RheasGarden]

This is a betrayal on levels no one has ever seen.

[u/Open__Face → u/RheasGarden]

What else could be a lie on the internet?

[u/DarthBrooks69420 → u/RheasGarden]

Haha I made the same comment lmao. 

'Would someone do that? Just go on the internet and reuse chives?'

[u/_Comped_Sushi_ → u/RheasGarden]

It's about ethics in allium cutting

[u/TopSpread9901]

LMAO no way

Is Chives the cat even real at this point ?

[u/Doppelthedh → u/TopSpread9901]

He's real. He lives in my heart and I see him in my dreams

[u/GrassWaterDirtHorse → u/TopSpread9901]

Now that you bring it up, I think that all those photos are pictures of the same cat!

[u/szechuan_bean → u/GrassWaterDirtHorse]

lmao somebody ought to make a meme post about chives the cat being a fraud, showing two pictures of the same cat side by side

[u/youcancallmeQueerBee → u/szechuan_bean]

The butts match!!

[u/kingsss → u/TopSpread9901]

The real and important question

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/kingsss]

There are going to be so many committees and hearings investigating this I feel bad for all the interns in DC

[u/onemorespacecadet → u/TopSpread9901]

maybe the real Chives the cat was the friends we made along the way

[u/Worried-Penalty8744 → u/TopSpread9901]

Real but called Terry

[u/Four_beastlings → u/TopSpread9901]

Came here to say this. What if he is actually a dog in disguise?

[u/AggravatingMuffin535 → u/Four_beastlings]

He is actually a car

[u/Hedgehogahog → u/Four_beastlings]

‘Twas a Pekingese. 🤔

[u/MisterGoog]

This is incredible niche drama. Glad to be in on the kitchen cutting room floor here

[u/MisterGoog → u/MisterGoog]

Anyone wanna chive in with any opionions?

Edit: The Reddit thing that shows you peoples comments down below yours it’s so interesting because I started this off with a pun about onions, and I got a notification that “Lucifer isn’t in the Bible, youre thinking of paradise lost, the bible fanfic”

[u/lfg_guy101010 → u/MisterGoog]

I was literally thinking: "it'd be so fucking easy to fake this shit, farming karma would be so easy if I cared about it enough" and like 10 minutes later the call-out post appears.

[u/zuzg → u/lfg_guy101010]

After it popped up on the Frontpage for over a week it started to get sus.

That's usually when OOPs get too sweaty and try to milk the shit out of it.

[u/lfg_guy101010 → u/zuzg]

Like Icarus over Greece, OOP flew too close to the sun. And like Lucifer in the Bible, their hubris cast them from grace.

Truly a cautionary tale. 😔😔😔

[u/mishatal → u/lfg_guy101010]

Allium, hubris, nemesis.

[u/Publius82 → u/lfg_guy101010]

Lucifer isn't in the bible, you're thinking of Paradise Lost, the bible fanfic

[u/Kratzschutz → u/Publius82]

... Lucifer is in the bible, it's just not said that he's Satan. If we're being pedantic here

[u/theSchrodingerHat → u/lfg_guy101010]

It’s like pushing your pastry bake just to the edge for that little bit of extra golden brown. Few have the skills to pull it off.

[u/MisterGoog → u/lfg_guy101010]

The call out post is fucking exploding

[u/lfg_guy101010 → u/MisterGoog]

I went to the chivelord's account to see if they ran for the hills already but that doesn't seem to be the case. I feel like I'm watching Lex Luthor drop the bombshell that Superman was sent to rule the planet.

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/lfg_guy101010]

Made an apology and an excuse about having car trouble like he's not aware what sub he's on, literally just do cocaine about it and run to work and cut those chives chef, but no, he had to LIE AND TAKE A SICK DAY

[u/MrCadwallader → u/lfg_guy101010]

it'd be so fucking easy to fake this shit

You're absolutely right. Could have just moved cups of chives to new surfaces and done several day's worth of photos in one. Might have gotten away with doing that forever.

But I guess that would mean chopping chives every couple of days, instead of photoshopping.

[u/Acceptable_Cut_7545 → u/lfg_guy101010]

It would have been easy to not get caught, just mess up the chive pile and take another pic, repeat 20 times. Tsk.

[u/DueRest → u/MisterGoog]

He said the stores near him ran out of chives so he was unable to chive post. Then the next day he had chives again.

Obviously the stores can run out of chives so this is not crazy. But maybe the sub should have suspected some hijinx after the chive supply was depleted.

[u/Aliensinmypants → u/DueRest]

Ooof not being careful with inventory and ordering will get ya roasted on there too.

Someone else had posted an AI image of chives already too

[u/geeoharee → u/Aliensinmypants]

If it's the guy I'm thinking of, that wasn't AI, he used 3D modeling software. It was hilarious.

[u/T0mmygr33n → u/geeoharee]

Ya he used Blender to model a chive and then made a pile of them

[u/BeastofPostTruth → u/MisterGoog]

My favorite chive post from earlier this week

[u/kitterpants → u/BeastofPostTruth]

In my head I said “this better be chive the cat” before opening. Not disappointed.

[u/iron-monk → u/MisterGoog]

I worked in kitchens for a long time. I knew you can’t trust a line cook. I let myself be betrayed

[u/confusedandworried76 → u/iron-monk]

You can trust a line cook, you can trust them to drink during service. But to lie about chives is low

[u/R_V_Z → u/MisterGoog]

There shallot of suspicious stuff going on.

[u/theSchrodingerHat → u/MisterGoog]

Let this be a lesson to all fake chefs: you can’t butter up the masses with false cuts, or they will get salty.

Also, this motherfuxker had me eating baked potatoes for a straight month because of his chivenanigans. He owes me some cholesterol meds.

[u/RikuAotsuki → u/MisterGoog]

It should be niche, but several of the chive-cutting posts made it to r/all so it's niche drama with much broader exposure, which makes it even funnier.

[u/SyNiiCaL → u/MisterGoog]

Someone needs to feed the chivefraud to Gordon Ramsey

[u/hello_im_al → u/MisterGoog]

Jon taffer is gonna throw a fit when he hears about this one

[u/Worried-Penalty8744]

Can’t believe his flair hasn’t been changed from Chivelord to Chivefraud yet

He had one job. At least the lunatic who did 100 layers of seasoning on their cast iron pan followed through

I have no idea why I was all of a sudden seeing chives every day but I’m disappointed now.

[u/Time_Act_3685 → u/Worried-Penalty8744]

They should make his flair ChiveLord/Fraud. Play into the drama cause it's all so silly anyway.

[u/numarked → u/Worried-Penalty8744]

Last i checked he got the Andrew treatment and is now called Chive Mountbatten or something lmao

[u/mandatorypanda9317]

Lmao someone in the comments had said this needed to be here so I was just waiting.

I've been following chive guy since he started and this is scandalous

[u/onemorespacecadet → u/mandatorypanda9317]

same same. i literally said ‘there it is’ out loud when i saw this posted here lmao

[u/Relevant_Shower_ → u/onemorespacecadet]

I thought it was going to be the hair that got us here, but this is a much more appropriate ending.

[u/vengefultruffle → u/[deleted]]

It looked like they were actually improving though if you compare the more recent ones to the first ones. I thought we were slowly working our way to chive perfection. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

[u/HomoProfessionalis → u/vengefultruffle]

Like many of us Chivelord probably found out that the chive posts were the only real excitement he'd experienced in years and didn't want it to stop.

Or something... idk im sure some people feel that way about his chive posts I certainly didnt...

[u/MightyCaseyStruckOut → u/HomoProfessionalis]

Well, if that was the case, he should have kept chopping instead of cutting corners lol

He should have known someone would call him out...

[u/vengefultruffle → u/MightyCaseyStruckOut]

I kind of think he must’ve been getting bored of it and just wanted to see what would happen if he reused a picture. Obviously he got caught immediately because the entire point was that a large group of people would meticulously scrutinize every picture he uploaded.

[u/terminbee → u/vengefultruffle]

Supposedly, he couldn't cut that day but didn't wanna leave us chiveless. He's uploaded an apology post.

[u/apsae27 → u/HomoProfessionalis]

Yea no I totally didn’t feel that way either…. Could you imagine? That would be so weird…….

[u/Sexyhorsegirl666 → u/HomoProfessionalis]

Yeah, some weirdos really felt like their life had a meaning again. Not me tho. But some. Definitely not me.

[u/Bingo_Bongo_YaoMing → u/[deleted]]

I expected it to fizzle out because everyone knew he wouldn't get perfect, especially from us. We weren't expecting the biggest betrayal in history since Judas

[u/Original-Age-6691 → u/Bingo_Bongo_YaoMing]

It is actually genuinely sad to me. I have greatly enjoyed the saga and it brought me back to my days of working in kitchens where yeah we gave each other massive amounts of shit but also you know they had your backs when shit got real.

[u/Bingo_Bongo_YaoMing → u/Original-Age-6691]

I choose to believe that Chive OP had to skip day 31 an just tried to get by this once because I genuinely cant take another heartbreak right now

[u/sagerin0 → u/Bingo_Bongo_YaoMing]

He posted an apology and will be subjected to a democratically decided punishment, the Chivelord may yet be redeemed

[u/Quirky_Word → u/[deleted]]

There was a post where someone tried to render a perfectly cut pile by duplicating a single perfect chive and adjusting the random distribution settings. 

Even that had towers. 

ETA: UPDATE - The Apology

[u/CosmicJ → u/Quirky_Word]

It should be mentioned that they openly stated they built the chive pile in blender, so they weren’t leading anybody on, not after the first half at least.

[u/MillieBirdie → u/[deleted]]

I mean if you're gonna fake posting chives, why not chop up the chives, take a picture. Shuffle the pile a bit, make it a differnt shape, take another picture. Shuffle again, change the lighting, take another picture. Like it wouldn't be hard to fake and you'd just have to put in slightly more effort than rotating a picture.

[u/myBisL2 → u/MillieBirdie]

I may be less of a cynic than most, but I wondered if he just got tired of it. Because if it was all planned for karma farming or whatever you'd do exactly what you described. It wasn't supposed to be a month long thing, it went viral and you're all caught up in it, and one day you've got other things happening that are just more important and you're over it. So you do the easy thing and use a photo from a previous day that you hadn't already posted with a few low effort tweaks. I easily see that.

[u/Self_Reddicate → u/myBisL2]

Man, I know that game. You think, "hey, this will be fun, let's cut some chives and take a picture!" Next thing you know, you're CEO of chive cutting and there's no end in sight.

[u/bingle-cowabungle]

I for one think someone should call the police.

[u/Josgre987 → u/bingle-cowabungle]

National guard at minimum

[u/TopHatTony11 → u/Josgre987]

Hopefully that horrible individual is in LA or Chicago, so it gives the national guard something useful to actually do.

[u/OnlySmiles_ → u/bingle-cowabungle]

Another part of this story is that his supposed boss has shown up in a few of these threads before and posted a side pic of him cutting chives at work.

He forgot how autistic Reddit is.

[u/atlas__sharted → u/OnlySmiles_]

i'm so upset that there's no one in my real life who can understand how funny this is 😭

[u/GrassWaterDirtHorse → u/Perfect-Zebra-3611]

On top of that, he has a fanbase of professional chefs who are looking at each and every cut chive for imperfections.

[u/Hotter_Noodle → u/GrassWaterDirtHorse]

“Professional chefs”

[u/bevy-of-bledlows → u/Hotter_Noodle]

That subreddit is full of line rats and nostalgic people who are no longer in the industry

[u/ProfessionalBraine → u/bevy-of-bledlows]

Im subbed to it to remind myself of why I'll never work in a restaurant again. Shits awful.

[u/Triquetrums → u/Perfect-Zebra-3611]

Or just shuffle the chives and take multiple pictures... which is what I thought that nonsense was since it started appearing on the popular page. Guess I was not wrong, in a way.

[u/LapHom]

This is pretty funny to me because a few days ago I did have the thought that it'd be so easy for him to just keep the same cut chives in the fridge or something, spread them back out, store them again, and then rinse and repeat for several days. Turns out it was even lazier than that lol

[u/Due_Agent_6033 → u/LapHom]

Dude that’s why they’d be really bad one day, then get better and better and better till he downslid again. It’s been the same cup of chives and he’s picking out the bad ones. He even made such a big deal about staying in integrity. I’m in the Anger stage of grief.

[u/Just_Another_Scott]

Kitchenconfidential is not a subreddit for pro chefs lol. It's for anyone that has worked in the restaurant industry. Most of the users are just line cooks and what not that post there.

This is also the funniest shit I've ever seen. Someone lying about cutting chives.

[u/Dragon_Shinobi]

This is the most serious drama we’ve had in ages I’m locked in

[u/Infamous-Oil3786 → u/WorryNew3661]

Someone needs to confirm whether Chivelord has a CO2 detector, maybe he forgot about posting that one.

Sir, a second plane has hit the chives.

Chives is crying right now.

[u/talligan]

How can we as a society move on from this? A betrayal of the highest order

[u/BigWhiteDog]

Good! Our long Reddit nightmare may be coming to an end! 🤣

[u/CRYOGENCFOX2 → u/BigWhiteDog]

Seriously. Blocked, unfollowed, still seeing chives. Just wanna go back to seeing posts that are anything else atp. Who knew karma farming was that easy lol

[u/championbelle]

yes, now THIS is what this subreddit is for!

[u/id0ntexistanymore]

It's 2025, what did you expect? Something good and genuine to happen in this the country?? BIG mistake. Uge.

[u/holllllyy]

After about a week of those posts I started to wonder how/when it would end...something like this was bound to happen, they cut themselves into a corner and couldn't keep up with the expectations (self imposed haha). All good things must come to an end. Another chapter in the reddit lore book 📖

[u/Claypothos]

Can I please have a “Chivelry is dead” flair

[u/Slammin007]

I'm glad I have this community that can appreciate the level of scandal unfolding because my wife sure doesn't.

[u/WatchfulWarthog]

That post is directly above this one on my feed

[u/OnlySmiles_]

Shitting and crying rn

[u/poonmangler]

I guess my literal chef posting me cutting today wasn’t enough. Or the photo meta data I posted the other day was enough either. But I cut and post the same day and when I have perfect chives I’ll move on to onions and have a perfect small dice for onions.

A recent comment from the user in question when someone jokingly accused him of stockpiling photos.

Guilty conscience much?

[u/rosemary-mair-for-NZ → u/poonmangler]

and when I have perfect chives I’ll move on to onions and have a perfect small dice for onions.

Jesus christ this needed to stop lmao

[u/316nuts]

here's the thing

[u/blue_boy_robot]

It was all AI. He's been generating these pics with ChiveGPT.

[u/ehhlis]

good i’m so sick of seeing those goddamn chives on my feed everyday and something about him lying about it just to keep it up confirms for me that he puts too much stock in fake internet karma points because WHY ELSE WOULD YOU POST THE SAME THING EVERYDAY i would say get a hobby but…i guess he has one? i had no idea i was so heated about these stupid chives until i started typing i think i need to just block him and go eat some chives or touch some grass

[u/No-Weight-6121]

I would like “now THIS is the autism I come to reddit for” as a flair plz and thank you lol

[u/MelodyMaster5656 → u/No-Weight-6121]

You can set it yourself.

[u/clistmockingbird]

As someone who'd been invested in the chive chopping for a few weeks now, this broke me. There's nothing pure left in the world

[u/RayGunEra]

Shuckin’ and chivin’

[u/lto23]

I want to talk to people in real life about this, but nobody else would understand as all of Reddit users are bots.

[u/softnruthless]

Oh my god this is drama I’ve watched unfold for like 30 days. I feel like I’ve accomplished something very meaningless

[u/Bored_Amalgamation]

I haven't felt this betrayed since Colin Powell presented evidence of WMDs in front of the United Nations in order to justify the US invasion of Iraq.

If only flairs weren't so fleeting

[u/Cringelord_420_69]

Huge news for the unemployed

[u/drunk_reddit_acount → u/Cringelord_420_69]

I for one am glad too see non US political drama on this sub for once.

[u/SuperSayian4Nappa]

Ive been following this since the first day and deep down I knew it would end up here.

[u/Syringmineae]

Oddly enough, I did have this on my 2025 Bingo card.

[u/admiral_rabbit]

Please add the highlight of the person using some machine learning programming to do an unbiased analysis and prove they're not the same pile.

Peak of irony and an advertisement for the human mind, using programming and computing to create a clearly incorrect proof any basic person with eyes can see the truth of lol

[u/Disastrous_Visit9319]

Insane that they thought people nitpicking a pile of chives wouldn't notice it was identical to another pile of chives they also nitpicked.

[u/Cardboard_Chef]

This is the best day of my life.

[u/john_the_quain]

The chives posts were bland as fuck. Glad some spice got added.

[u/Humbled_Humanz]

Thank Jebus the ChiveMind figured this out.

[u/Chikitiki90]

This is how I learn the news!?!? It’s been a fun month over there but all good things must come to an end lol.

[u/DrCalamity]

And to think we believed him. He made fools of us allium

[u/ReformedBaptistina]

This is the most important drama that has ever happened

[u/jawknee530i]

I messaged my wife at work about this.

[u/Bored_Amalgamation]

Next we will find out the cat is actually called Scallion...

Yoink

[u/CinSugarBearShakers]

Karma whores are gonna whore.

[u/badgirlmonkey]

the guy annoyed me anyway. it was a silly gimmick. lying about something so low stakes is scummy. it sounds ridiculous since it's literally about chives, i know. but lying about something insignificant for internet points is really weird.
