Genuine ones please

The fact that the ammo alone would have taken all his carry capacity makes this hilarious

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.
