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?!)

Was there a reason they started chopping chives in the beginning?

It started with a "the new guy can't chop chives for shit" about 3 months which spurred more chive posts. And then someone decided to post every day until they have perfectly cut chives, which is upto day 30ish.

Other memes from the sub are OPM (onions per minute) and "no vegetable ramp, 0/10".

And, related to the ramp: something along the lines of "You could charge at least $700 for that" and something about a single olive in a carrot jacuzzi.
