Nope. Not falling for it. NOT FALLING FOR IT.
This leads very quickly down a rabbit hole on what precisely counts as a "door" or a "wheel."

If you count toys then it's definitely wheels. Even if you didn't it's still probably wheels. Chairs, strollers, shopping carts, luggage.
replies:
Does this include rollers on conveyor belts or are rollers not included. If they are, absolutely wheels
replies:
There are EXACTLY an equal amount of doors and wheels in the world and they are being produced at the same rate.
Source: I just checked
Edit: Just checked, they are also destroyed at the same rate.
replies:
Is a transistor a door? Then doors (and it's not even close). Otherwise wheels because gears are wheels.

Every time I've seen this come up, it turns into a kind of coastline problem. The closer you look at everything we've built you just start finding more and more doors and just as you think it must be the winner you start seeing all the wheels that go along with them (or vice versa).
It's impossible to know which one wins without very clear (and limiting) definitions of "door" and "wheel". Those definitions would have to be equally restrictive to both "doors" and "wheels" or else the limitations decide, not the world we've built around us. I posit that anyone claiming to have an answer have made up their own limits of what "counts" and those limitations are likely not equally balanced.

Team wheel here. I'd expect the sheer number of wheels inside mechanisms and machines to clinch it.
Wheels, just because of Lego
Today, almost 50% of all Lego sets contain wheels.
And this is without getting into non-vehicle wheels like flywheels, gearwheels, etc
replies:
Im going to chime in here and say we expand the definition of wheels to include doors and the definition of doors to include wheels.
Problem solved.
