This has bothered me for years and pops into my head here and there. Whenever I see the word triple my brain says it like the word “tripe” (the stomach of a cow that people eat)
Am I missing some rule that is used when it comes to spelling? Why is it Nipple and not Niple
Why no Tripple?

Well I think we need to clarify one thing, “nipple” is only spelled with two “P”s when referring to humans as the number of “P”s matches the number of nip^(n)les the subject has. For example, when referring to cat nipppppples, the word has more “p”s to match their anatomy.
