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

@NormanDunbar @Anke @michael @fesshole I assumed they were talking about exercise wheels
Edit: like this -
I've started asking people the thought experiment "are there more doors or wheels on planet earth?". I don't really care about their answer, but the speed at which they ask ChatGPT allows me to assess how much I care about their thoughts and opinions on other matters.
@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.

@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.
