The Internet is divided over the Doors or Wheels debate

Are there more doors or wheels in the world?

Author: Alex RossPublished 14th Mar 2022

There's no denying the fact the Internet loves a good debate. Whether it's regarding a new song, a TV show ending or basically anything to do with general life, you can always rely on the Internet and social media to offer the goods.

Years after the classic 'the dress' debate, a new question has divided the Internet, with a Twitter user asking: 'Do you think there are more doors or wheels in the world?'.

The man in question was New Zealander Ryan Nixon, who created a Twitter poll at the start of Maerch which read: 'My mates and I are having the STUPIDEST debate...

'And I am here for it.

'Do you think there are more doors or wheels in the world?'. (sic)

With over 223,000 votes, the final poll suggests more people think there's more wheels in the world than doors, but it was VERY close.

Doors scored 46.4% whilst wheels just pipped it with 53.6%.

Unsurprisingly, Twitter users were quick to comment on poll with their theories...

One wrote: 'Doors by far. Most things with wheels have at least a 2:1 door-wheel ratio, and then you have all the other doors in the world.'

Another added: 'Very solidly wheels. All cars have 4 wheels but 2-4 doors. An average home might have 6-10 doors but it also has 3 suitcases with 6-12 wheels. A collection of toy cars might have 400 wheels.' (sic)

A third made the point of: 'Doors. Pretty much everything with wheels has doors, except bikes. Anyone who owns something with wheels will live in a building whose doors outnumber their wheels. Eg I own 10 wheels (2 cars, 1 bike) but 28 doors'. (sic)

Another added: 'Doors. Four door cars and trucks nullify themselves. All ships have doors, no wheels. All buildings have doors, no wheels. Doors.' (sic)

A fifth then argued: 'Desk chairs, desks, suitcases, skateboards, bikes, scooters, motorcycles, roller skates, shopping carts, wheelchairs, hotwheels cars (or just toy cars), heely’s, Conveyor belts, roller coasters, Hospital beds, hospital equipment (almost everything in a hospital is on wheels)'. (sic)

So, are you team doors or team wheels? 👀

Now check out all of these classic computer games we'd love to play again:

Tetris

Everyone knows and loves Tetris, but the game has to be THE classic Game Boy game. Originally black and white, the game was hugely addictive for kids in the early 90s.

By linking up two Game Boys you could even play two-player with a friend. It seemed revolutionary in an Internet-free world.

Solitaire

It's been included on Windows machines since 1990!

Originally written by a bored Microsoft intern, the game was apparently included with the operating system to help people get to grips using the mouse and dragging and dropping, in a time when using a mouse was still very new.

GoldenEye 007

It was reimagined in 2010, but the original GoldenEye 007 was released back in 1997. Based on the 1995 film GoldenEye, the game gave up to four players the chance to play against each other on the same screen.

Sonic the Hedgehog

Where Nintendo had Mario on the Game Boy, Sega had Sonic the Hedgehog on their Game Gear.

Racing through levels to save animals imprisoned by Doctor Robotnik, who he wants to turn into robots, the game was a hit with kids in the early 90s.

Of course, over the years, Sonic has become a fan-favourite character spawning several games and even a film released in 2020.

Mario Kart

Dating WAY back to 1992 with the release of Super Mario Kart, Nintendo has continued to release new games right up until October 2020.

In the Mario Kart games players get to see all their favourite Nintendo characters racing against each other, avoiding banana skins and Bowser Bombs.

Lemmings

Oh no!

Everyone's favourite green-haired computer game characters, Lemmings, (and future games), were very popular for many years. Fans had to try and get all of their little creatures to safety, past big drops, flames and over water.

Sega Rally

Dating back to 1994, the Sega Rally franchise continued until 2011, when Sega Rally Online Arcade was released.

It was known for its great graphics for the time and was available on a number of platforms including of course in the arcade.

Super Mario Land

Super Mario Land celebrated 30 years since its European release in 2020. Originally released for the Game Boy, of course it was only available in black and white, but subsequent games have been released including the 2011 title Super Mario 3D Land.

SSX Tricky

SSX Tricky was released in the early noughties and was the follow-up to SSX.

The game featured some fantastic music including Run-DMC's 'It's Tricky', with added voiceover from Rahzel, an American beatboxer and rapper.

The game featured several fun characters who each had their own special moves, or Ubers as they were called.

TimeSplitters 2

With levels like Notre Dame, Siberia, and Chicago, and characters like Duckman Drake, Robofish and Cortez, it could only be TimeSplitters. The first game was released in 2000, with TimeSplitters 2, TimeSplitters: Future Perfect and TimeSplitters 4 released in subsequent years.

Tekken

There have been plenty of Tekken games over the years. Starting in WAY back in 1994, the first Tekken games were released as a trilogy on the PlayStation.

Tekken Tag Tournament was released in 1999, and we're now up to Tekken 7, released in 2015, with Tekken 8 planned for 2024.

Crazy Taxi

Crazy Taxi was a very popular arcade game, as well as being available on home consoles.

The game saw players driving around picking up passengers, taking them to their destinations, whilst desperately trying not to scare them away with terrifyingly bad driving.
"Taxi!"

Time Crisis

Starting out in arcades, Time Crisis became a very popular console game in 1997. The first game was followed by a two-player sequel released in arcades in 1998 and on the PlayStation in 2001.

Hands up, who has spent way too much time playing?

Quake

The first Quake game was released way back in 1996, but several games have been released since.

If you liked a first-person shooter with some memorable voiceovers then this was the game for you. "Denied!"

Dancing Stage

Another arcade favourite to make it into our living rooms was Dancing Stage (or Dance Dance Revolution - DDR to many).

Of course the games are still being released thick and fast, however the first game was released back in 1998. The DDR games included a mixture of well-known hits and some more obscure songs for players to dance along to.

Tony Hawk's

There have been many Tony Hawk's skateboarding games released over the years. The first one, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, was released back in 1999 and gave players the chance to try out all sorts of tricks and as well as games Graffiti, Trick Attack, and HORSE.

Final Fantasy VII

More than two decades ago (1997) Final Fantasy VII became THE game to play, spending hours, if not days following the main character Cloud Strife.

The game was re-released in 2020 for a new generation.

Crash Bandicoot

Set in the fictitious Wumpa Islands off the coast of Australia, Crash Bandicoot was originally a Sony PlayStation exclusive, first released back in 1996.

Speedball 2

Speedball 2 was a 90s classic, which was re-released in the noughties with improved graphics. The games saw players battle it out in a futuristic battleground, a bit like an American Football game set in the future.

Who remembers the half time call, "Ice cream, ice cream, anyone for ice cream?"

Super Smash Bros.

Originally released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64, Super Smash Bros. saw players controlling some of Nintendo's favourite characters, including Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby and Link.

Instead of having a health bar, players had to smash the other players off a stage to win the round.

Spyro the Dragon

A PlayStation classic released in 1998, Spyro the Dragon has spawned a number of spin-off games since. In Spyro the Dragon, the young dragon and his dragonfly friend Sparx, trekked across the Dragon Kingdom to defeat Gnasty Gnorc.

Worms

Cast your mind back to the mid-90s and Worms was a big hit, it was a game where players would take it in turn to kill the other team's worms using some outrageous looking weapons.

A spin-off game called Worms Rumble was released in December 2020, available on most consoles and Microsoft Windows.
