Isn't checking dubs fun? It's probably the best part of my day. It's always been great checking 10 out of every 100 posts but recently we have been able to check 11 posts for every 100 - due to the rising popularity of 'Fore!' (87).
As great as it is having an additional check, there's no reason we can't have a check for every pair of numbers.
Contents
Background[]
The history of checking dubs is a long and complicated one beyond the scope of this article.
TL;DR: It started as a deconstruction of GETs used for thread derailing and general shitposting (rude funposting) on other boards, like /b/, /v/, and /a/.
The List[]
The list.
Example of the CSS in action.
The most typical thing to checks is repeating digits at the end of a post number. An abbreviated plural version of the tuple is used to refer to them, selected by the number of repeating digits. Usually this is prefixed with "nice" (as in "nice dubs") or other positive adjective. The long form is also acceptable, as in "nice doubles."
| terminating digits | term |
|---|---|
| XX | dubs |
| XXX | trips†⁶⁶⁶ |
| XXXX | quads |
| XXXXX | quints |
| XXXXXX | sexes |
| XXXXXXX | septs |
| XXXXXXXX | octs |
| XXXXXXXXX | nons |
| XXXXXXXXXX | decs |
Rarer are when those are all zero. These are usually simply checked with the same terminology, but frequently have been checked with the term "clear" prefixed to the tuple:
| terminating digits | term |
|---|---|
| 00 | clear dubs |
| 000 | clear trips |
| 0000 | clear quads |
| 00000 | clear quints |
| 000000 | clear sexes |
| 0000000 | clear septs |
| 00000000 | clear octs |
| 000000000 | clear nons |
| 0000000000 | clear decs |
Another variant is if the digits themselves match the length of the tuple, to call them "pure":
| terminating digits | term |
|---|---|
| 22 | pure dubs |
| 333 | pure trips |
| 4444 | pure quads |
| 55555 | pure quints |
| 666666 | pure sexes |
| 7777777 | pure septs |
| 88888888 | pure octs |
| 999999999 | pure nons |
| 0000000000 | pure decs |
Other digit sequences that can be checked involve more convoluted checking. While the value of these integers might not appear high at first glance, deeper worth can be gleaned by more thoroughly checking the sequences.
| digit pattern | example | term | reference or explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| AAB (B is A±1) | 6345665, 6345667 | offbyone kenobi | missing trips or better by just one |
| XYX | 9173686 | nubs | short-lived attempt to reintroduce checking when dubs were disabled on /b/; deprecated since /b/ allows dubs again |
| XXYY | 24315533 | double dubs | any two sets of dubs at the end |
| XYXY / XYZXYZ | 2813434, 4523523 | fools dubs | string of number repeated twice at the end |
| XYXYXY | 7141414 | fools trips | string of number repeated thrice at the end |
| ABCD / DCBA | 2811234, 2814321 | cons | a string of 4 or more sequential digits at the end |
| PPPPPPPP | 12312331 | prime | number is a prime number; entire number must fit pattern, not just the end |
| VWXYZYXWV | 7358537 | palindrome | extremely rare occurence; entire number must fit pattern, not just the end |

Explanation[]
The complexity of the CSS selector is to allow it to work on both thread view and main view, without selecting unrelated objects.
.postInfo- Selects class="postInfo", the container of the post info.
[id$="01"]- Selects id="_____01", ID attribute values ending in that string.
- The two in combination means it only selects for an object with both. For example, <div class="postInfo" id="pi3456701">
[title^="Re"]- Selects title="Re_____", title attribute starting with that string. <a href="" title="Reply to this post"> which is the same on both main view and thread view.
[:after]- Creates a virtual element where we add content.
.postInfo[id] [title^="Re"]:after- The first selector is a simplified version with a wider scope that sets some styles for all the others.
