An idea occurred to me and some other fellows in the chivemind not too long ago. See, we were
having a discussion on if we should change the sub icon once the perfect chives are achieved. And, from what I gather, the people support it. But many want an inclusion of our favorite feline, Chives the Cat. So, we came to the agreement of Chives the Cat on a background of the perfect chives.

But what do the rest of you think? Should it change or should we keep our current one? Can we get a moderator on board? Time will tell.
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

You have my sword.
Why not create a sub just for the chives? That way the chivemind has a home and kitchenconfidential can go back to its regularly scheduled programming?
It’s missing the 9/11 planes
Chives and fangs seem to represent the current state of affairs here. I like it.
Listen, to all you anti-chivers: this, too, shall pass. Every great Reddit meme (hell, every great internet meme) was annoying as fuck to a significant percentage of netizens while in the midst of it, but once it fades we always look back on them fondly, even if ironically.
You will remember the Chive Days, Redditor, and when Reddit dies and the dead internet becomes real, you will remember these better times and think, “I was there, [insert AI overlord’s name here]. I was there 3000 memes ago….”
There will never be perfect chives. It’s an immutable law of the universe, like the speed of light in a vacuum, or BMW drivers refusing to use turn signals.
If you can cube the perfect chives I’ll do anything you want.
You all knew this was going to happen, right?
After thousands of people latched onto the chive nonsense, it was inevitable that teenagers who have never worked in a kitchen were going come around and do their best to reddit up this sub.
Look what you’ve done. You took a perfectly good sub and just fucking poured reddit all over it.
The dead horse has been beaten into meat paste at this point
Needs more contrast to be visually effective. But i think we have enough chives going on without making it the pfp as well.
Please don’t turn one of the last remaining real subreddits filled with hard-working people into yet another meme factory, for the love of all that is holy
Unless your plan is training cats to cut chives for everybody’s line I’m not interested. We could pay them in rats! We don’t need those anyhow.
No. Honor St. Anthony.
I know shit’s been crazy, so I’m just gonna rehash [what I said on this topic the other day](https://www.reddit.com/r/KitchenConfidential/comments/1orcztn/petition_to_make_chives_our_kitchenconfidential/nnp9jm4/)
> We’ve seen a number of requests like this. You’re not being ignored, we’re just focusing on the current Chivegate thing behind the scenes right now. Patience, we’ll discuss it again soon!
As much as the complainers are complaining about the subreddit being “taken over” by chives, please understand how much worse things would be if the mod team wasn’t constantly staying on top of the onslaught. We’re dealing with a lot behind the scenes, and for every measure I’m putting in place to make things nicer for the users I’m making shit a little bit harder for us.
I promise we’ll get to this topic at some point.
Ngl I’ve been following the chive king, and chive gate. And this is my first time hearing about a cat named chives. I’d rather seen the plane guy do something instead
All hail chives
As a chive enthusiast and a Loyalist, I unequivocally say no.
The phenomenon is fun. I’m enjoying it. But it should *not* be the sole focus of this sub. It will also fade. Let’s enjoy while we can, but also keep in mind there are a lot of people here that were here before Chives and will be here after Chives. This is their sub. We’re just visiting. Be a good tourist.
Chives be with you all.
I’m in favor
It’s beautiful
I think it’s a great idea… if Chives is also pictured with a miniature chef’s hat
“Make it so!”
I guess we all forgot the cube posts
I love seeing these posts amongst all the negative ones I see. Considering my bf and I only know of this sub due to the growth of the chive cut and the drama, I can only think of the chive now when I see it
It will change, or it won’t change. I’m confident that the awesome mod team will decide in the most democratic manner. Some will cheer. Some will want to leave. I’ll keep clicking on posts that interest me, chive or no chive.
Again, no, remmy fits this sub more than chives
remmy is my friend. i work next to remmy. i love him despite the stale cigarette stench and horrendous attitude before the shifties come out. don’t let the cat kill the rat.
> So, we came to the agreement of Chives the Cat on a background of the perfect chives.
Well now I want x to the y xzybit on chives on Chinese going “Yo Dawg, heard you like chives so I put Chives on your Chives”
Easy solution is to commemorate the day he achieves perfect chives by making Chives the Cat the icon for that day and potentially on the anniversary!
This was quite the phenomenon and that cat is dang adorable. Can’t wait to see where it goes, but also understand this sub is more than this one man’s journey (ironically).
What good chiving fun tho!
Someone made one of these with remy on chives’ head and that gets my vote, cannot remember who did it though
