Slinky (also known as Spring) is a toy metal spring) that tumbles end over end down stairs and even "walks". It was invented by Richard James in 1943, and quickly became a bestseller. Other Slinky toys were developed such as the Slinky Dog and the Slinky Train. Company president Betty James has always kept the toy's price low so children could buy it. It originally sold for $1. Slinky has received many toy industry awards and honors over the years. Its televisionjingle is the longest running jingle in advertising history.
Slinky was the invention of Richard James, a mechanical engineer in the United States Navy. In 1943 he was looking for a way to lessen the vibrations that sensitive equipment endured shipboard in rough waters. An accident during his experiments led to the creation of a "walking", tumbling metal spring. Neighborhood children loved it. James's wife Betty named the toy Slinky after finding the word in a dictionary. The Jameses had 400 Slinkys made by a local machine shop. The Jameses put Slinky on display at Gimbels department store in Philadelphia in November 1945. All 400 units were sold.
The flavor text (the italics at the bottom) is what I remembered when I thought of u/F1exican cutting chives until he died then just kept going, then the rest came from there.

I really thought that leg was made of several little skulls crying out in pain. Until I zoomed in…. and I still see that. Also, I feel it. In my crying pain leg, I feel it.
As much as we're having fun and adventure frolicking through the chives, your mod team is so tired.
You know what's really weird?
When I post these "mods are present and active in this thread" reminders, I'm immediately hit with abusive replies about attention seeking.
For some reason that doesn't happen when u/tehjoz posts them.
I wonder why that is.....
Look, just because i can't get gratification from anything other than someone cutting chives doesn't mean i'm a loser...Wait what were we talking about?
I love how most replies are glazing past the 2nd part of your comment, I just wanted to say I share the same struggle as a woman in male-dominant spaces and support you!
keep up the great work, chef! datte curaggio, nun t’avvilì
They’re better than 99% of any chives anywhere, and the only reason this subreddit hasn’t told you they are “perfect” is because they have so much fun with these posts.
It was nice to see some helpful comments to you over the time, and you taking the direction.

I think chives needs first strike. Cat reflexes are fast and Chives looks scrappy.

The flavor text (the italics at the bottom) is what I remembered when I thought of u/F1exican cutting chives until he died then just kept going, then the rest came from there.
I hope you know a chive magic card is now expected daily.
See you tomorrow, chef.

Is this standard legal?
Neither this nor the card I used as a template are Standard legal, they're both way too strong. I'd probably let you rule 0 it in Commander.
I really thought that leg was made of several little skulls crying out in pain. Until I zoomed in…. and I still see that. Also, I feel it. In my crying pain leg, I feel it.
Let’s fucking go dude.
I fucking hate this card lmao, but I also love it and I REALLY love this creation of yours.

Mr President, a third plane has hit the chives.
Good evening, Chive Air 654. Squawk 6767, contact tower on 867.5309.
Ask for Jenny ;)
Who should you turn to? Turn left heading 270, vectors for initial approach runway 30.
You need something you can hold on to? Why aren't you holding the yoke?
I know you think I’m like the others before, but I’m Approach, not Center.

Ahhhhhhhh I've never been this early!
Is there beverage service on this flight?
I have heard rumors of choice martinis.
Edit: Chive, not "choice." Proofreading is a skill that I lack.

Where was Gondor when the chives were cut?
Just imagine this whole chive saga becoming the basis story for a language "f1exican at Tenagra his chives perfect!"

Good work, see you tomorrow mod
I feel like you might be one of the hardest working mods on Reddit.
Can confirm. She's fantastic and very hard working.
Very free spirited.
We're all very fond of her.
I'm gonna go find a cash machine.
We love you, mods.
Great mod team. Even before chives. They rock.
But….frolicking ✨
It's because a lot of losers are sexist bastards, and well, you know.
Look, just because i can't get gratification from anything other than someone cutting chives doesn't mean i'm a loser...Wait what were we talking about?
Maybe we can get some overflow over to r/chivecirclejerk
JFC... That's a real sub?
is this saying there were 371 posts that were removed in the last week, and 351 posts that weren’t removed during the same time period?
Yes. We're removing about 50 top level posts per day, and that's a notable reduction compared to the last month or so.
Yes, most are chive shitposts.
I will make attack crab claws out of tongs, and/or just slap the shit out of some mofos with my BEO clipboard for the mods here.
I think this is the first day in weeks that it didnt go immediately into weeds mode. Great work!
Day 69 will be easy: every comment will say “Nice”

For realsies, this is my favorite sub and yall are my people and you mods are great. Thank you for what you’re doing!

The chives have become self-aware and are staging a counter attack
Good evening Chive Force One, squawk 6767 and continue inbound for landing runway 28 right.
Nice cutting board, chef!
I always find it disappointing to see the white cutting board. This one is just so pretty with the green and the shiny knife...
I’m here so early I don’t know what to do.

You’re my hero…. Ok that may be overstating. You an individual that I admire. And you deserve to have this end in victory.
