Who doesn’t love a good round of internet arguing ? Though, this time around, the hot trend isn’t really a heated argument so much as it is a drunken discussion between good friends.
A tweet raised the question about whether there are more doors or wheels in the world, and not only Twitter, but the internet at large went nuts providing their own opinion on the matter.
A viral tweet has caused the world to go mad lately.
In it, a man named Ryan Nixon asks whether people think there are more doors or wheels in the world. The tweet gained 18k likes, 9k retweets, and over 2k responses. The poll had a total of 223,347 votes that declared wheels as the slight winner.
The replies, however, were filled with continued debate about the subject.
One of the top replies, seen here, is in stark defense of there being more wheels than doors. She notes that wheels aren’t just for vehicles, but also feature on many more mundane items such as bins, racks, etcetera.
In a response to this, someone linked to another reply.
Justin here makes a great point in saying that many cars cancel themselves out by having an equal amount of wheels and doors, while there are buildings that can have hundreds of doors with no wheels.
The rest of the replies were mostly filled with people finding exceptions for either side.
There even began a debate about what counts as a wheel and what counts as a door. Can we look into the inner mechanics of appliances for wheels? And what is a door but a layer separating you and the interior of a closed object, does that make jar lids doors?
It’s a neverending spiral that only sparks more and more debates the more you think about it.
We could all spend ages working out every tiny detail that supports one argument or the other, which is sort of the beauty of it. It’s a timeless question that will always drum up fervor, but without any of the nastiness that might come from other debates.
And since it’s something we’ll never get an answer to, as long as you believe in your choice, you’re right! It’s like the Schrödinger’s cat of social media bickering.
