The “settle an argument” thread….

[poker]

Having a stupid argument…. Dump it here and let unqualified strangers on the internet settle it for you.

To start…. On Q107 this morning…. They dropped a great question.

What do we have more of in the world, doors, or wheels?

I think wheels.

 

[unassuming]

Wheels for sure.

Doors

Doors

We are on the wheel with the doors all around us and the wheel ever spinning, spinning...

Doors…nearly everything with wheels has doors but not everything with doors has wheels.

I have a 1.5 bedroom condo. I count 30 doors. I count18 wheels (a 4 wheel suitcase, a 2 wheel suitcase, 2 wheel vacuum cleaner, 2 wheels on my outdoor grill and I assume 4 wheels on my fridge and 4 wheels on my stove). However there could be more wheels that I cannot see, for instance in a motor.
In my vehicle there are 4 passenger doors, a door to my gas tank a compartment door in the middle console and one in the trunk. There are 6 wheels minimum - 4 driving, 1 spare and 1 steering wheel. How many wheels are in the engine and other components I have no idea.

If I had to guess I would choose wheels because far more things have wheels than doors.

I say wheels, depending on your definition. I mean, there are 5 wheels on an office chair, right? Now think of all the stools, chairs, shopping carts, golf carts, appliances with wheels...

Are they caster wheels that can turn on a dime?
If not, I’ll go with doors because they be closed or open.

Office chairs do not have doors. Bed frames do not have doors.

Doh! I completely forgot about the existence of both those things haha I like platform beds and office chairs make my sciatica flare up.

 

[IFUSEEKAMY]

I just realized it has to be wheels cuz wheels usually exist in pairs while doors don’t. Ack!!

Our bodies have combinations of doors and wheels with various ball joints and hinges.
The tongue is the strongest and most versatile of them.

Each of us has a backdoor. What counts as our front doors? And how about all these wheels spinning in our brains?!?

Now you’re thinking!

Are you asking me to use the 'windows to my soul'??
How did they overlook the alliteration aspect of comparing wheels with windows instead?

How about all these wheels spinning in our brains?!?

My brain has a monkey with a pair of cymbals.
