Any large multi-room building, like an apartment complex or a hospital or something, would drastically increase the door count. And if we're talking toys, what about toy houses? Do lego doors count?

Hospital doors have to be out numberer by the stools doctors scoot around on, I think.

[-] Angryhumanoid@fedinsfw.app 54 points 1 month ago

Plus hospital beds, medical equipment, supply carts.

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

But all those medical cabinets have doors too, lockers have tons of doors... It's a tight race I think.

[-] diabetic_porcupine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Wait a minute…. Medical carts have wheels too!!!

[-] Cenzorrll@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Does a double wheel caster count as two wheels or one? Either way, every office chair probably has 5 wheels, 10 if it counts as double.

[-] Zerot@fedia.io 22 points 1 month ago

1 office chair has 5 wheels. Almost every home has at least 1 office chair. And if we look at hospitals then it gets even worse because there are a lot of the beds have wheels.

And then we can go even further. A lot of curtains use rollers which are wheels. So if I just look at my apartment, I probably have 15-20 doors(cabinet doors, etc. but a lot of the normal doors are sliding doors which use wheels) and probably 50-100 wheels. And that is probably undercounting the wheels that are there by a lot.

Yeah, but does that hold up globally? There are 8 billion people out there, plenty without computers or curtains. My guess is wheels only win cause you can also count defunct wheels on landfill bound chairs and things-- is a door still a door if it's unhinged and scraped?

we getting into quintessence talk now.

Plus all the mechanical components that are technically wheels; gear and cogwheels, flywheels, pulleys, etc.

[-] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Cabinets man. Look around in a kitchen or bathroom, every single house in the world has a ton of doors.

Hotels, they're basically made out of doors (including furniture and appliances). Cruise ships take it to a whole other level.

Commercial lockers. It's ridiculous how many doors these spaces have.

Wheels probably wins because of the ridiculous amount of toys, but it's a fight.

Lego wheels vastly outnumber Lego doors though.

Lego is the biggest tire manufacturer in the world.

[-] Pandantic@midwest.social 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah but that doesn't take into account cabinet and interior doors which are never-to-seldom in Lego builds.

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

And inside those apartment complexes? Luggage, storage bins, drawers, IKEA daybed couches, modular tables, entertainment centers, desk chairs, and compact pizza-cutting utensils, all with one or more wheels.

Hell, some doors use wheels to close!

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month ago

But so do lego 18 wheelers.

Also, wheelbarrows, roller skates, one wheels, scooters, trains and roller coasters....

[-] Fmstrat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Hospital carts, chairs, wheelchairs, medical equipment, pretty much everything has wheels.
