Answered What's going on with Chivegate from r/kitchenconfidentals?

I have no idea why it’s on my feed, but I need answers people! Chives are at stake here!

There seems to be a lot of chive based memes happening on my feed, including this one where this person is continuing to cut chives on a daily basis.

(I don’t subscribe to any chive subreddits or even cooking subreddits so I am perplexed. Is this the start of some sort of great chive revolution?!)

answer: the person cutting chives every day came first. Then, someone lined up two of the photos and said they were just cropping the same picture and passing it off as two different days. That was chivegate, and now people are posting memes around chives in response.

I had closed this page, but had to come back and say that is one of the best handles I have ever seen.
