I've started asking people the thought experiment "are there more doors or wheels on planet earth?".
-
@fesshole does ATPase count as wheel?
-
@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.

@fesshole okay, but do revolving doors count as both
-
@DamonWakes @fesshole personally i would say yeah
@saxnot @DamonWakes @fesshole but does it count as one wheel, or one wheel per ball
-
-
@ShiitakeToast @fesshole personally i think yes
-
@solearther @Cowabbie @fesshole and the spare wheel in the boot?
@marjolica @solearther @Cowabbie @fesshole ah but the spare wheel is not in the boot of modern cars, it's gone. now it's a repair kit only,
-
@isol I didn't even consider the steering wheel, honestly. When I read the fess, the only wheels I thought about are wheels that things roll around the ground on.
Also, auto manufactures have been increasingly not including spares in modern cars, but yeah. Plenty of spares out there, so ultimately cars are a boost for wheels rather than doors.

@isol Unless we start counting hoods and trunks and glove boxes as doors, then it really gets tricky. Is a door something a human goes through to enter or exit a space, or it is anything you open or close for a given space? Because my closet surely has doors but it's not a walk in closet. So maybe opening my car's hood to check the fluids is also a door.

@fesshole Wheels, just going by the sheer number of ball bearings produced.

@bigpawedbear @marjolica @solearther @Cowabbie @fesshole
But it says "on earth" so all the old cars still out there with spares included still add +1 wheel each to the count.

@fesshole I’ll do you one better, Why is Gamora?"

@reallylazybear @fesshole surely every household has 20+ doors (don't forget cupboards, ovens, etc.!) and every car in that household has about as many doors as wheels... so if we're counting wheels as being only between an object and the ground (so excluding any gears etc. internal to an object) then it's clearly doors.
A more general description of "wheel" throws the whole thing into confusion, since it depends very much on the definition in that case.

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