Chives are having a moment on Reddit’s r/KitchenConfidential subreddit.
Reddit user u/F1exican has created a personal challenge online, and it’s gotten a big reaction from other foodies. They have decided to chop chives every single day until the other members of the cooking forum have deemed them “perfect.”
This is a pretty wild undertaking considering it’s next to impossible to please everyone on the Internet.
The most recent chive chop marks u/F1exican’s 27th day of the challenge. You can see their latest creation below:
Redditors react to the chopping chives challenge
While some people are invested in the chive chop, others are convinced it is an AI scam. The comments range from chive-related tips to investigations into the validity of the challenge. Whether or not the chive-chopper is real, the best thing to come out of this is the memeification of chives. The recent chive posts on Reddit are pretty entertaining.
“I have no interest in cooking beyond the bare minimum, but my feed started blessing me with the chives around day 5. Been here following since then, on the edge of my seat, rooting for chives guy,” u/RemarkableWallaby196 wrote.
“OP just magically started posting on a 5-year-old account with literally no activity aside from these posts. Some of these photos look like the same photo reposted with edits, adding more chives. It’s just AI-generated garbage,” u/drinkallthepunch declared.
“This chives thing has got to be the most unhinged yet hilarious fad I’ve seen on Reddit in quite a while. Thanks for the hysterical laughter, you deranged cooks.” u/CocoMilhonez
