CHIVES DAY BY DAY
For nearly seven weeks, a Reddit post chronicles daily chives being trimmed, upgraded gear, and a video log as a community awaits word the task is finished.
Keep trimming or call the chives done?

Day 47 brought a new cutting board, and the same stubborn pile of chives.
For 47 straight days, someone had been cutting "a couple of chives almost every day until this reddit says they're perfect." That was the whole project: trim a little, post the proof, and keep going until the community finally declared victory.
On this day, the update was short but tangible. "New cutting board has arrived," the poster wrote. The board wasn't just a background detail; it was the latest upgrade in a ritual that had already stretched across nearly seven weeks. The chives were still being cut in small batches, day after day, with no sign of the challenge slowing down.
Then came the thank-you: "Thanks a ton u/big-mussels it feels great." The board apparently made a difference. It had arrived, it felt good, and it gave the poster a fresh surface for another round of the same tiny task.
The post didn't stop there. It also included "Todays Video:" followed by a YouTube link, adding another snapshot to the ongoing chive saga. No grand finale, no announcement that the chives had reached perfection, just another day, another cut, another post.
And so the count rolled on: Day 47, a new board on the counter, and the same quiet challenge still waiting for Reddit to call the chives done.
