re: Viral Debate: Are there more Doors or Wheels in the World

Wheels by far. Just think of all the toys

Between cars, bikes, toy cars, strollers, wagons, and lawn care equipment I alone probably have more wheels than there are doors on my whole block.

I seriously doubt you have more wheels than your entire block has doors. I have at least 65 doors in my house and vehicles (and don’t have a fleet of vehicles or a huge house). Most personal vehicles have five tires and four or five doors, so that’s close to a wash. Cabinets, refrigerators, gun cabinets, furniture all add up.

ETA: at least 90 doors. I forgot 20 in bathrooms between cabinets, showers and furniture in there alone. There may be way more tires, but hotels, offices and homes have lots of doors.

You ever walk down a frozen food isle? Not saying they don’t have more wheels, but there are more doors than you originally/maybe thought of.

Every one of those Walmarts where a single store may have 30-40 frozen food isle doors, at least 10-30 Semi 18-wheeler trucks brought JUST THE STUFF to fill those doors, much less the rest of the store.

Let's think about an average car, 4 wheels plus a spare. Average of less than 4 doors,

How in the hell do you figure this? There are way more 4 door cars than 2 door, plus trunk, hood, gas cover should all be considered doors. And you could make an argument for all the various lids and caps, especially if they are hinged.

I think there are more wheels in the world, (tons of components in an engine that would be considered wheels, steering wheels, etc.) but your definition of door is extremely narrow.

Probably several hundred... but easily overcome by all the shopping cart wheels.

Don't forget all the wheels in the toy section.

Agreed. For any special door, you can come up with wheels to match.

You clearly didn't read the rest of the post you replied to, much less the rest of my posts. I mean I listed all the same exact "doors" on a car that you did immediately after the part that you quoted and bolded.

I even argued that zippers on pants are doors. I think my definition of door is pretty broad.

My house has about 25 doors and 37 cabinet, refrigerator or oven doors, and I have two cars, two wheeled chairs, and 9 bikes. That makes 36 wheels at home (Two bikes have training wheels).

No hot wheels or legos? No other toy cars?

My kid is easily over 500 wheels between hot wheels and other toy cars, almost all of which have no operable doors. He loves hot wheels so that's probably higher than a normal kid, but it's still a LOT.
