    Wheels, and I don’t even think it’s particularly close. Know who the biggest manufacturer of tires is? LEGO. Lego alone makes >300M tires a year. Add in Hotwheels. Certain types of conveyor belts have thousands of wheels. Office chairs have 5-10 wheels each. Many drawers have wheels to make them slide.

    Even in door heavy environments like homes, wheels still outnumber doors. I literally just went around my apartment and counted, there are 33 doors, counting cabinets and even the dishwasher and oven. There are 40 wheels. And that’s not even counting the 9 drawers on my roommate’s dresser because I’m not sure if they have wheels, and there may be some other wheeled things in her room.

    It’s wheels.

      It's only a wee bit of a stretch to consider circular doorknobs as wheels

      Consider Minecraft, if we include digital doors and wheels then surely there's a non infinite amount of doors saved on a number of Minecraft worlds. On the other hand consider grand theft auto, there's no certain number of cars in that game, there's player owned stuff but that's it. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you include digital doors and wheels I guess you gotta consider the permeantness of it, does it despawn?

        actually what this implies is that the answer for "how many doors vs wheels" there are is extremely variable and dependent on how many copies of Minecraft there are being played at this exact moment vs Grand Theft Auto (with a slight bias towards wheels due to the extreme production of them IRL)
