Doors vs. Wheels (1 Viewer)

[AAABatteries]

My children have pulled me in to this inane debate so I spent 2 minutes thinking about it.

There has to be more doors than wheels, right?  A lot of things I can think of that have wheels also have doors.  My car - 4 wheels, 4 doors.  My house on the other hand - like 100 doors (kitchen cabinet doors, room doors, dishwasher door).

What am I missing here?  Are people counting things like gears as wheels?

I need somebody to give me a list of what counts and doesn't count but until then - #TEAMDOORS

doors, and it isn't even close.

Wheels or gears?  I’m open to hearing the argument from the wheels people - like this.

 

[Dezbelief]

Some doors have wheels. Do gates counts as doors? 

Edit- does a toilet seat count as a door? 

 

[otb_lifer]

ya know, if we're gonna include Cheese wheels, i may have to reconsider. 

 

[BobbyLayne]

#teamwheels editing Wiki to back up their weak ### logic

 

[Leroy Hoard]

doors, and it isn't even close. 

The ghost of Jim Morrison agrees.

 

[BobbyLayne]

"Dad, there are 16 billion Hot Wheels wheels. That's not even counting Matchbox."

 

[Mister CIA]

I'm on team plane.

 

[Murph]

Doors seems obvious at first. But then thinking there are a lot of bikes in the world too. But then think about a huge building like the Pentagon. Doors for days.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Wheels or gears?  I’m open to hearing the argument from the wheels people - like this.

The bottom rack slides in and out on wheels and the top rack has slides on the sides - like on a drawer - with wheels.  Now that I've had a look, its less than 40, maybe 20 wheels or so.

Yeah, definitions are going to matter a lot here.  Do toys count (because we've got like 1,000 Hot Wheels wheels alone)?  Do toy doors count (see Hot Wheels!)?  Do doorways without an actual door?  etc.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

The ghost of Jim Morrison agrees.

I don't count ghost doors. The Doors are +2 in the calculus.

I'm thinking wheels.  Casters on all those office chairs.

I repeated this to the kids (13 and 23):

"Yep - and most of them are opened by turning a wheel. But most of the #teamdoors trolls call those a doorknob. Look it up - you literally turn a wheel on an axle to open a door."

 

[BobbyLayne]

couple weekends ago I installed a opener on my future MIL's garage. one door, tons of wheels.

I'm starting to weaken...

 

[DropKick]

Wheels... but the last time I counted it was pretty close.

 

[Desert_Power]

Aren't the doors fake?

And behind every door are multiple office chairs with 5 wheels each.

Didnt scroll far enough, D-Day already said that.

"Dad, there are 16 billion Hot Wheels wheels. That's not even counting Matchbox."

Was just going to say that my two year old has like 100 hot wheels. Way more wheels than doors in my house. 

 

[Don Quixote]

Opened this thread while in my son’s room where he must have over 50 hot wheels, toy fire trucks, etc. all lined up next to each other. If you count toys, I’m going wheels.

Edit- does a toilet seat count as a door? 

Only if you go through it.

There is some discussion about a hinge being a wheel also.  That would change things quite a bit.

Looking at my kitchen and seeing all the cabinet doors, but all the drawers have 4 wheels.  And the hinge thing.   

ETA:  What about ball bearings?   

 

[El Floppo]

Do doorways without an actual door?  etc.

Do wheels without actual wheels count?

 microwave doors

My microwave has one door and three wheels inside.

That's like your perception, man.

Well, there was a night back in '87...

 

[Juxtatarot]

My car - 4 wheels, 4 doors.

I demand a recount.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

When is a door not a door?

when it’s ajar

 

[Witz]

If you are counting a door as something that is connected to a hinge, many caskets have 1-2 doors.

Definitely don't want to hear a knock coming from the other side of that door.

My car - 4 wheels, 4 doors. 

What about the trunk, hood, glove box and gas tank access?

Why would I have anything special to add to this scintillating conversation?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Appears to be a tie.

You like wheels? 

 

[dino259]

Yeah, definitions are going to matter a lot here.  Do toys count (because we've got like 1,000 Hot Wheels wheels alone)?  Do toy doors count (see Hot Wheels!)?  Do doorways without an actual door?  etc.

And Legos.  Legos is the world's largest producer of tires. 

 

[brun]

Do those little spinning circles you see during buffering count as wheels?
