People can’t stop arguing about wheels vs doors

The internet is divided over one seemingly harmless question about wheels and doors, but one side is clearly wrong.

Last week, a man by the name of Ryan Nixon asked Twitter a question: Do you think there are more doors or wheels in the world?

This seemingly harmless questions has been occupying my mind and dividing the internet ever since.

My mates and I are having the STUPIDEST debate...

And I am here for it.

Do you think there are more doors or wheels in the world?

In a raging debate to rival *that* dress (which was obviously blue and black, not white and gold), there’s an element of logic to this question that is just big enough to make us all desperately need to sit and consider the possibilities.

The poll itself was fairly evenly split, although wheels did win out with 53.6 per cent of the vote. Honestly, I went straight to the wheel side. I get that there are buildings with a lot of doors, but you don’t necessarily need more than one — or any, people love a good archway, and a bike. Usually, however, you need at least two wheels. Plus a lot of doors require wheels to help them open and close (I see you, built in cupboards). Add to that the number of wheels used in machinery and you can forget about it. Debate won.

However, there have been some solid points raised on both sides that have made my certainty waiver.

The door argument

To be honest, the only answer I’ll allow for doors is this well-argued point:

Although I’ll admit there were some other decent points made, like this one about Advent Calanders and how much we all love our tiny doors at Christmas:

I’ll also maybe allow the ship argument made in this tweet, though I’m still not convinced. Mostly, I just think door people haven’t thought through how many wheels we use in every day life that we can’t necessarily see. Like dryers, dryers use wheels to make the drum spin.

Doors.

Four door cars and trucks nullify themselves.

All ships have doors, no wheels.
All buildings have doors, no wheels.

Doors.

The wheel argument

People are making all kinds of solid points around wheels, many of which I’ve mentioned: office-style chairs, warehouse trolleys, bikes, skateboards, machinery, toys. Also this great point about the sheer amount of Hot Wheels cars there are in the world, with their four tiny wheels each:

I also feel like it would be rude not to include this man’s well delivered argument around what qualifies as a wheel (like I said before, machinery is all wheels, guys).

Oh and for good measure, I personally forgot about warehouse and all those wheeled trolleys and clothing racks until this gentleman brought it up

But really, the only argument we need is this VERY significant mic drop moment, pointing out how frequently we replace wheels, and rarely change a door. Have you ever seen a tire yard? Wheels are notoriously hard to destroy.

You might be asking why I included more argument for wheels than doors, isn’t that biased? In answer, I say, it’s not my fault the doors team have trouble making legitimate argument. someone even brought up planes — my friend, a plane has, like, four wheels on each of it’s little foot things. How do you think they land the plane? Not to mention HOW plane doors open. Fool.

Anyway, I guess the only thing we can do now is make someone count all the wheels and doors in the world.
