    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?

      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.
