Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CruelWe’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 FormatsNot 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

I think SciShow did a thing like this for Eyes vs Legs.

It comes down to definition, but if one, but not the other, definition include biological parts then that one wins.

If no biological being has "wheels" but say, a valve, is considered a "door," then doors will always win.

But again, it comes down to definition.

A valve is not considered a door.

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.zip 2 points 19 hours ago

That's exactly what I mean. What is, and isn't, a door? What is, and isn't, a wheel?

Are treads a type of wheel? Are sliding doors, doors? What about a sliding window on a slightly smaller frame? Are rotating doors are doors, but not open doors? Are bearings and rotors wheels? Are gears wheels? Is a log a wheel, and if not, then if you replace a car's tires with similarly shaped and sized logs then are those wheels?

Is a valve a door? What about a very large, flat shaped valve that looks like a door? Is a swinging door a door or a wooden valve?

Why not? If the valve has a hinge and closes off a pathway when shut, i don't see why it shouldn't be considered a door.

A switch is a type of door for the pixies.. and every car has a whole number of those, so doors win
