October 2022 · 3 minute read

TikTok users have absolutely taken over the internet with a viral debate about whether or not there are more doors or wheels in the world. Yes, really. 

Whether it’s the latest dance trend or a creator going viral for their unique talents, TikTok has been the home of viral content since it switched over from Musically in August 2018.

Now, creators from all around the world are debating whether there are more doors or wheels in existence — and the app is split between their decision.

Here’s everything we know about the debate, as well as some of the arguments from both sides.

Another user — ybndev — uploaded a video arguing that if gears count as wheels, then the amount of doors also increases as they would be able to count hatch style covers like what is seen on camera battery slots and the back of the Nintendo Switch dock.

Many fans on the wheel side of the debate also have taken to the comments on various videos to mention Lego, which holds the world record for making the most toy tires annually.

While there isn’t exactly an easy and accurate way to figure out whether there are more wheels than there are doors in the world — plenty of people on TikTok believe that they have it figured out… There’s Team Door and Team Wheels, which one are you joining?
