Abstract
Contingency is a defining aspect of 4chan. The infamous imageboard is characterised by its ephemerality and anonymity, making the infamous imageboard feel fleeting. The constant surprise of what will appear is enabled by a rapidly-changing order of threads, the id of its anonymous users, and the lack of substantive archival features, forcing users to dwell in ephemerality.
