I've started asking people the thought experiment "are there more doors or wheels on planet earth?".

@michael @fesshole truck doors (3) outnumbered by wheels (6, 10, 18). Schools & Commercial buildings are peppered with doors.
Shopping carts, train cars, wheeled appliances, wheeled furniture, and many tools & toys have far more wheels than doors, and are in homes by vast numbers. Once I start considering all of those wheels, I can count my home’s doors in moments but find myself unable to enumerate all the wheels tucked away in odd use cases in that house.
How narrowly do we define wheels? Flywheels? Toothed wheels (gears)? Pulleys or wheels holding belts?
Cars and other motors have flywheels, gear works are full of wheels, wheels persist in clocks and watches. A big retail Hot Wheels display at Christmas countermands the doors of a small city. Pumps, turbines, water meters and anemometers rely on wheels.

@fesshole does ATPase count as wheel?

@fesshole Then I take it as a sign of health that I didn't think of asking LLM about it until I arrived at your mention of it

@fesshole Wheels. Many things have doors but no obvious wheels (houses, f'rex) but many houses also contain wheels — in the form of toys, collectables, model cars/planes/trains that have functioning wheels but non-functioning doors. Also, depending on if an entrance needs a solid covering to be a door, then that also discounts parts of the world where fabric or beads are used as doors, along with any open doorways.
Only a moron would ask chatGPT when it's far more interesting to think.

Everyone is forgetting to count the little doors on advent calendars.

@NormanDunbar @Anke @michael @fesshole I assumed they were talking about exercise wheels

@fesshole obviously there are more windows than doors.

My first thought was 'are gears wheels?'
Are gates also doors, or does a door have to be in a wall and not a fence? Then what about all the doors at the lumber yard not yet installed?
The eyes are the doors to the soul. A lot of animals have eyes. Some of them are even compound
Fruit flies have 7-800 little eyes per big eye. That's 1400-1600 eyes per fly and no eye lids. Why doesn't Dr. Who carry an overripe banana around to keep the weeping angels away? Time flies like a banana

Cars have 4(ish) doors and 4(ish) wheels so they don't matter. Bikes have 2(ish) wheels and no doors. Houses have ~10 doors and no wheels. Nothing else has wheels or doors. There are likely not 5 times as many bikes as houses in the world. Ergo, doors.

@lunarloony @michael @fesshole
So... this depends on what we define as wheel, as many things inside a normal household contain wheels for mechanical purposes. Doors, otoh, are not used for half as many things. So if we go by that logic, I would say that there are many more wheels on earth than doors.

I thought the point was to weed out the people who offload their thinking to an unethical misinformation machine.

@Cowabbie Most cars also have 4 wheels, so they cancel each other out
"4 wheels…"
Are you ignoring the steering wheel, or do you just live somewhere where every car is a Reliant Robin? (With no spare wheel in the boot, either, obvs.) 🤪

@fesshole I'm guessing wheels cos most cars, even small ones with just 2 seats have 4. Obviously there's ones that have 2 and 3 wheels like that blue car on live action Mr. Bean show. There's prolly 6, 8, 10 wheelers and prolly a few more than 10
Number of doors depend on how big and/or tall the building is and how large the rooms inside are. I'm confident there are more cars than buildings, but idk.
I mean I'm dumb by myself but I'd never ask gptslop for that, what the actual fuck.
