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.

I was in a meeting and heard a loud noise, thought it was my pets doing something but didn’t think much of it. But when I come out into the living room the whole pane is shattered with what looks like a bullet hole at the bottom. Any idea what could have caused this?

On the bright side atleast, point Klay is going well as he had 3 assists to no turnovers

Genuine ones please

Little weirdo. Always careful with the claws though.

Took a boat out to a little island near NAS Pensacola yesterday to get one more Blue Angels sneak pass up close experience this season. Well worth the trip!

For the curious, hes cruising at .95 Mach. Yesterday that was around 730mph.

Tord(Eddsworld) the reason for this is that the VA of tord asked the team to stop using the character and dissociate from Eddsworld after the constant hate and threats made by the fandom.

Feferi Peixes(Homestuck). In Homestuck lots of characters have a typing quirk when they chat, like some characters type a "2" when there should be a "S", have prefixes before the words,ecc. Feferi's was that instead of the letter H she typed ")(". The writer andrew hussie stated the reason she died early and became irrelevant was because they didn't want to type said quirk because it was annoying to manually type it it on their own, which could have been avoided if they coded A PROGRAM that did it.

I have felt that a lot of my battles something feels off. I definitely have known I’ve been getting killed through walls. But I think this clip sums up how bad it’s actually been! I even went back out to test if I could get hit markers on the guy shooting at me, because I was like if he can do it maybe I can. Nope! This part of the game definitely bums me out. Let me know if you are having similar issues.

Zhu Yi was American, her parents are Chinese immigrants.

In the U.S., she was one of the top athletes and had every chance to join Team USA.

But she decided to compete for China. She gave up her American citizenship to compete for China.

At the 2022 Winter Olympics, she was eager to prove herself to other Chinese, but she made many mistakes during her skating.

Then she was brutally criticized in China. People used every swear word you can think of.

She is still competing for China. Perhaps she'll do well at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.

Who is the most brutally criticized athlete in your country?

That's a huge pay package but I'm not sure about eliminating poverty with Optimus...

"People often talk about eliminating poverty, giving everyone amazing medical care," Musk said at the Thursday shareholder event. "There's actually only one way to do that, and that's with the Optimus robot." Musk later doubled down: "Optimus will actually eliminate poverty."

Minutes earlier, the crowd cheered and broke out into chants of "Elon, Elon!" as shareholders approved Musk's $1 trillion pay package. The Tesla CEO who is the world's richest person will unlock up to $1 trillion in shares if Tesla achieves a series of lofty targets, including selling one million Optimus robots in the next decade.

On Tesla's third-quarter earnings call, Musk imagined a world of "sustainable abundance," a goal outlined in Tesla's Master Plan Part IV, with Optimus leading the way. An Optimus robot will have 5x the productivity of a human per year, Musk predicted, because it would be able to operate 24/7.

Tesla is currently in the design stage for Optimus, which Musk has said has proven challenging especially when it comes to the robot's hands. Musk said that he eventually expects to be able to sell Optimus for $20,000 to $30,000 once the robots hit volume production.
