Seems to be a hot topic on social media. What do you guys think?

Every skyscraper seems to disagree.

For the record, I believe it’s doors myself.

I like wheels related topics because they remind me of Simon.

It's definitely wheels. Every skyscraper in the world has a lot of doors, but they're filled with office chairs with 5 wheels. Cars on average have more wheels than doors. An apartment building with three rooms might have 5 doors, and I'm guessing most people have a computer chair with 5 wheels. (And that actually beats out Simon and his wheelchair. We call him wheels, but some of us actually use more wheels than him.) Are we counting things like cabinets also, or just regular doors? If so cabinets can tip it the other way. How many shopping carts does the average supermarket have? That gives the advantage back to wheels in my head.

Think about it man. We're talking about wheels. Not just tires or steering wheels, but wheels as a whole.

Wheels. Think of all the toys that have wheels. Not just Matchbox/Hot Wheels but those toy 18-wheelers, radio controlled cars, bicycles, tricycles.

How many wheels are in your average office printer? 100?

I dont know what the original parameters of the discussion are but IMO the spirit of the question is really about wheels used for transporting things, versus doors used for human entry. Things like steering wheels and glove compartment doors, wheels inside machines or cabinets in the kitchen, arent in the realm of consideration for me personally.

That said, my first instinct is to say wheels. Bicycles, 18 wheelers, shopping carts etc are abundant in every city. Then you have wheels on appliances like vacuum cleaners, luggage, those bins janitors use for mop water. And ofc computer chairs, as Mr Farnzworth eluded to.

On the other hand, there are a shit ton of doors everywhere, that cannot be denied.

So I would guess wheels, but I cant say Im sure of it. It’s an interesting question tbh.

There are also several wheels in the pulley system that helps lift highweight in and out of bed.

That thing has 12 total wheels. And then the bed has at least 4. All for one person.

I'm fascinated by the power of that lift machine. I wonder what the capacity is.

And everybody looks so happy and pleased with their life.

I think the answer is wheels. Of course we have to exclude the ones in printers or machines. If we include them, might as well include the ones in paintings/comic books.

My office chair have 5 wheels, car has 4, I have 2 luggages with 4 wheels each and a bike has 2. So a total of 19 wheels only for myself. My sliding door and cabinet has a lot of wheels too but lets not include them.

Think about trolleys in supermarkets. Wherever I go, wheels seems to outnumber doors. Wheels are generally much easier and cheaper to produce than doors.

Clearly doors. Sky rises with doors in every single room, cabinets with doors in every single room/home, doors to closets, doors to little kid toys houses, doors/cabinets in massive ships,doors on cars to match the wheels for most cars, doors and cabinets in abandoned homes, doors in every single building in the world.

I could keep going but u get it

No, I'm very fit. But I'm in awe of the pictures.

I noticed that the big guy also has a wheelchair, so that's 20 wheels total for one person. That's Simon on steroids.

I am completely fascinated by these pictures. They are definitely worth a thousand words.

In one of the pictures it shows that the bottom area or the sling is open. So I wonder if that's how he goes to the bathroom. Because the guy has to be doing a massive amount of number one and number twos. Do they wheel him over the toilet? And does the guy's shorts have a bottom area that the woman could pull open?

I also want to know how much pressure is placed on each set of wheels. At first glance you would think that those 4 sets of wheels should be in the back instead of the front, since the base is towards the back. But I guess it makes sense because all that mass is being tipped forward putting a lot of pressure in the front area. But I don't know.

And now I'm also feeling sorry for the guy. Earlier I mentioned that these were happy pictures, but the guy's fingers are crossed, and he has a closed smile. A polite smile.

For the last couple of days I've been getting recommendations for Mr. Olympia competition videos. For the most part I can't clearly really tell what makes one competitor superior to the other. But for the people involved they have a way to judge all these unique muscles. In the comment section you might see people fascinated with the musculature of one guy, and how it compares to this other guy. All in awe and admiration, because they also body build so have a sense of just how impressive it is. They view them like a Michael Jordan. A science, kind of. And as I look at this guy's leg, all that fat around the calves and shins. It makes you wonder of a hypothetical fat building competition. Where people are in awe and compare the fat buildup around the calves and shins of one guy versus the other. Perhaps talking about the roundness of the rolls and how the fat is accumulated there. And how godlike it is, and how the guy just hit the genetic lottery. Like there would have to be a science behind it that we will never know about, but where experts would be impressed and in awe of the obesity. They would be able to tell what makes one obese body superior to the other and describe it with fine details.
