Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

A wheel needs an axle, so the bearings aren't a separate wheel, but part of the larger wheel. You can have multiple wheels on the same axle, but not on the same plane. It gets more complicated when wheels are attached to eachother like on a truck.
In the same vain, I think doors need atleast a frame and a large sheet of some kind to close it.
Wheels definitely still win by a large amount though, think of all the factories with machines with dozens of wheels in them
Upvoting for importance in this debate: You can't count a wheel twice if it has wheels nested inside of it
So if you take the wheels off the bicycle, are we no longer counting them as wheels?
Also, bearings have inner and outer races, so technically, the inner race could be considered an axel.
I think this definition of "door" is probably too restricted at the same time. When I moved into my house, I had to take some doors off to get the furniture in. The doors are still in the basement. My wife sometimes asks me what we are going to do with the doors in the basement. If someone was down there, they would recognize them as doors that have been removed. By your definition, those doors aren't doors. As the same time, the lid on a dumpster meets the definition of a door, so maybe the definition you have is too expansive?
The point is, the question is confusing because wheels are doors are concepts that we have, and not strictly defined objects.
Well yeah I think a perfect definition that fits every situation doesn't exist.
I think if the described item doesn't fulfil its role at the current moment, it doesn't count. Otherwise any round object with a hole in the center can be a wheel or any flat sheet could be a door
