Antiphase why bother (or two trans griddles with two tubs) is a period-2 oscillator that strongly resembles why not and by flops.

This oscillator can be used as a replacement catalyst for a tub, as shown in the example below.

Occurrence

See also: List of common oscillators

Antiphase why bother is about the 300th most common period 2 oscillator. It is about four times more common than the similar why bother.

Construction

In September 2016, Bob Shemyakin found a 9-glider synthesis for this oscillator by colliding a mango with six gliders.

A 18-glider synthesis was found by Extrementhusiast in 2015; an earlier 103-glider synthesis is listed in Mark Niemiec's database.

In December 2022, Chris857 found a different three-stage 9-glider synthesis. At some point later, a 4-glider synthesis of the base p2 constellation was discovered, leading to a 8-glider synthesis of the oscillator.^{[citation needed]}
