here you can talk about your most recent finds regarding dubs theory, I will start with the well know ``dubsless primes'':
- let к(n) be the number of bases in which n has dubs excluding base 1 and base n-1 as these are trivial, we shall call n a dubsless number if к(n)=0 and n>3
- the dubsless numbers up to 10000 are 5, 6, 29, 41, 61, 113, 317, 509, 569, 761, 797, 1213, 1229, 2617, 5297, 6221 and 8017. it turns out that all of these numbers except 6 are prime, and up to 10 million all except 6 are prime, we call these primes the ``dubsless primes'' a new kind of primes. this raises the following questions in dubs theory:
- is the set of dubsless numbers/primes infinite? - is 6 the only non prime dubsless number?

So here's an approximate timeline:
2016, March: the Dubsless Prime Conjecture is posted on /prague/.
2016, April: as the problem remains unsolved, people who have been wracking their brains about it post it to several math forums, from which it spreads.
2016, June: a tenured math professor at a prestigious university breaks down and, instead of a boring lecture in Linear Algebra, explains to the students the significance of dubs and dubsless primes, along with her ultimately failed but otherwise fruitful approaches at cracking the problem. The video of the lecture goes viral.
2016, August: Scott Aaronson blogs about his grappling with the Dubsless Primes problem, arrogantly says that it seems to him about as hard as the Goldbach's Conjecture, despite only having spent a couple of months thinking about it day and night.
2017, February: an Australian surfer discovers a property of Dubsless Primes that links it to the various free variables in the Standard Model. The Dubs Theory disagrees with QCD about the charge of electron in the 10th digit.
2017, March: an anonymous poster on /prague/ posts a simple proof of the п(n) = P(пdubs(n)), that is, that the distribution of Dubsless Primes polynomially approximates the distribution of usual primes. The proof doesn't quite fit into the post size restriction, many mathematicians join the discussion recovering the missing parts and building upon them.
2017, March: Donald Trump pledges to build the biggest ever particle accelerator, to test the predictions of the Dubs Theory. progrider.org finally goes under the pageviews and Indian spam, gets bought from Cudder by Google for unspecified amount.
2017, still March: Chris "4Chandler" Poole goes on record saying that shutting down the textboards was his "billion dollar mistake". Meanwhile, progrider.google.com overtakes Arxiv.org as the place for mathematics and physics preprints, because anonymity gets rid of the authority bias, which obviously is liked by up and coming, lots of energy, scientists.
2017, July: LHC somehow goes above the original specifications again and verifies the Dubs Theory predictions vs QCD. Trump feels trumped, "very sad" says he in the respective Address. Someone on /prague/ speculates about the consequences of the Dubs Theory for controlled thermonuclear synthesis. Trump is reinvigorated and pledges to make America great again, again.
2020: Cold thermonuclear synthesis is achieved at last! The city of Prague unanimously (and anonymously, since by then all political decisions are discussed on specially created anonymous textboards) votes to erects the statue of Anonymous Progrider, thirty feet tall, made from solid gold, holding a Lambda in her right hand and a bundle of sticks in her left hand. She looks suspiciously like Suiseiseki.
