SAN FRANCISCO - Once Tommy arrived home from what was left of his school and greeted his sad mother. He opened his mom’s bedroom door and asked “Mom, are there more doors or wheels in the world?”

His mom sighed. This would have to be a world history lesson, based on the events of the past year.

You see, Tommy was only a couple months old but incredibly smart, probably the smartest person in the world at this time. It does mean he was not alive during the Big Bang 2, as it came to be known.

“Tommy,” his mother said. “About a year ago a very tragic event happened. There was a war going on between two powers, or what we called ‘countries,’ which were ‘Iran’ and “Israel’. They were both relatively small countries, but they had a lot of military power. There was another country that had the most military power in the world, called the ‘United States.’ See, the United States supported Israel, but they didn’t chip in to the war because they thought Iran didn’t have any huge weapons called ‘nuclear bombs.’ The United States had thousands and Israel might have had a couple, but what no country in the world knew was that it turns out Iran had 5 million nuclear weapons. How was this possible?”

“I don’t know,” Tommy replied. “How?”

“Iran had actually some very smart hostages they had taken from Israel and other countries, and some of them were people who were professional military technicians and nuclear engineers. They were tasked with designing a system that would create a trillion nuclear weapons in one week.”

“The pioneer of the team was named Not Sure, due to a very unintelligent Census worker. It turns out when the guys from that place in the country ‘Russia’ called the ‘Kremlin’ invented the time machine, they learned that in the future where everyone is going to be stupid, another guy named Not Sure fixed a country in a week. If you want to see their findings, watch the movie Idiocracy.”

“Anyway, they were able to do it, and they also had a team build miniscule invisible drones to carry the nuclear weapons that were actually only half an inch big. And Iran, you see, wanted to control the world. So they decided to implant a nuclear weapon in every potato in the world. There were also a trillion drones that carried out the entire mission in about a day. But what gave them the inspiration for the potato operation?”

“I don’t know,” Tommy replied. “How?”

“Well, back in 2021, 3 people named Austin Chen, James Grugett, and Stephen Grugett founded a website called ‘Manifold Markets.’ Manifold Markets was a website where people would create questions about things that could happen in the world or even in their own lives. There was fake money called ‘Mana’ and you could bet it against the worst mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, because he was going to lose, or on whatever else you thought might happen in the world.”

“The website never got extremely popular until a user, known as ‘@ManaSchewitz,’ after a Jewish food and wine brand of a similar name. He created a market called ‘Eat a potato for 500 mana.’ The market became instantly popular and another post from ‘@TheManiflood’ titled ‘Do the challenge. Eat the potato.’ The first user to complete the challenge was named ‘@LoganTurner’ and his video of eating a potato went viral. In fact, it went so viral, it was seen by the Iranian president, who instantly called a meeting with the cabinet of war.”

“The whole cabinet of war agreed that this was the best way to circulate the nuclear weapons worldwide. So that brings us back to the potato operation. As soon as all of the potatoes were touched again, they instantly exploded into a mushroom cloud, as of ‘Hiroshima’ and ‘Nagasaki’ in ‘World War II.’”

“So that’s why most of the cities in the world are now just deserts?” Tommy asked.

“Exactly,” the mom replied. “Tommy, you are some smart 10-month-old.”

“Does that mean that this ‘Iran’ place controls the entire world?” questioned Tommy.

“No,” the mom replied. “Because the Iranian War Cabinet overlooked something very, very important.”
“What’s that?” asked Tommy.

“Well, they accidentally programmed the drones to implant a nuclear weapon in all potatoes. Potatoes were a staple food in Iran, and so most of Iran was blown up as well! So they actually don’t control the world, although they were very close.”

“Wow! Wait, then how are we alive?” asked Tommy.

“This is a very interesting story. It turns out, our community is the only community left and…”

“STOP!!!” screamed the dad, sprinting into the room. “Luann! What the heck are you doing! I thought we were going to keep him isolated!”

“No,” replied Luann. “Kirk, we’re going to tell him, and if you don’t like it, we’re getting a divorce.

“I’d rather die,” replied Kirk.

“Ok,” replied Luann, and she threw a potato at Kirk like a grenade. Kirk fell to the ground and Tommy started cracking up.

“That was funny!” Tommy exclaimed. “But continue with the story.”

“So anyway, your friend Frank’s dad was an agent for what was called the ‘CIA,’ which is a part of the United States’ government that investigated what other countries were up to. Turns out Frank’s dad was evil, and once he got intel from @LoganTurner about the potato bombing, because @LoganTurner just knows that sort of stuff, Frank’s dad kept the information to himself. But Frank’s dad wasn’t all bad. He loved his community. Well, no, he loved you, Tommy. He hated his own family. So he made sure to get rid of all our potatoes before the nuclear weapons would go off. Potatoes were the most popular food in the world due to the Manifold Markets potato trend, so practically everyone had potatoes. But he rid our house of them, so we were the only survivors.”

“Ok, but you still didn’t answer my question: are there more doors or wheels in the world?”

“Tommy, we are the only survivors. Do we have a wheel?”

“No.”

“Do we have a door?”

“Yeah, we have one right over there.”

“Well then, there you go.”

I got you buddy. Just wanted to point out that you never said it had to be a good essay

Are there more doors than wheels in the world? The answer - it's obviously wheels. Why do I say this? I don't, I wrote it. Pay attention. Now I will continue to write reasons until I hit 1000 words.

The main reason there are more wheels is because in the year 232, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ decided to make his infamous 20 commandments, provided below:

1. Thou shalt not steal

2. Thou shal eat pussy

3. Thou shal be gay

4. Thou shalt not lie

5. Call your mom more

6. Cats are better than dogs

7. Rome is lame

8. One day, when Pokemon exists, the best one will be Applin

9. Whenever a carpenter or stonemason or locksmith creates a door, that same carpenter or stonemason or locksmith MUST create at least two wheels

10. Don't become rich, donate extra money to the poor

11. Goku wins

12. Stuffed animals are awesome

13. I am the Lord your God, and you shall put no one before me

14. Monster energy is the official drink of heaven

15. So do you know the way?

16. Ebola

17. The best species of tree is the bald cypress

18. The worst species of tree is the American sycamore

19. Thou shalt not covet

20. Thou shalt not create a government like structure in My name and use it to control, opress, and tax the masses.

As you can see, commandment 9 declares that there MUST be more wheels than doors. Who am I to disagree with the Lord our God?

"But what if I'm atheist!" You may say.

"Then you're a fool!" I would say in response, but I'd secretly know you make a good point. How can my argument stand when it relies on divine authority and people do not believe in the divine? So if you would extend your patience to me, I will now prove the existence of God.

The best argument for the existence of God is the existence of the universe. As you know, all things have an origin. You came from your mom, your mom came from her mom, your mom's mom came from your mom's mom's mom, your mom's mom's mom came from your mom's mom's mom's mom, your mom's mom's mom's mom came from your mom's mom's mom's mom's mom, and this pattern continues forever. It's not just your mom, either. Your dad came from your dad's dad, your dad's dad came from your dad's dad's dad, your dad's dad's dad came from your dad's dad's dad's dad, your dad's dad's dad's dad came from your dad's dad's dad's dad's dad. So if everything has a cause, I have to ask: what is the universe's cause?

Many snarky liberal athiests would not say "The universes mom!" But that's silly. Universes don't have moms, they have creators. And who is the creator of the universe? Jesus Christ, or as some people like to call him, God. How do we know it's God? Well, its simple.

You see, since the universe has a creator, it only makes sense that that creator would have no creator himself. Cause and effect has to end somewhere! So since God has no creator, it is only logical that he is the creator of the universe.

Some other quick arguments for God to end this interesting side tangent are the fact that according to the holy Bible only fools doubt God, the fact that I prayed yesterday to find my keys and found them, the fact that puppies are cute, and the fact the world is so beautiful.

Now that you have been convinced by my interesting side tangent in the divinity of Christ and undeniable truth or His word, we can continue exploring our original prompt: the fact there are more wheels than doors.

Because of Divine Wheel Theory, we can assume that for the thousands of years that the Church has a stranglehold on society they ensured there were two wheels for every door. The only issue with this theory is that we do not see these wheels. Some may argue that a building like the empire State building has hundreds of doors, yet no wheels, so how can we assume the church enforced this Divine rule on that construction?

The answer is simple: mass wheel burials as sacrifices to the Lord. As we all know, the Catholic church engages in ritual sacrifice in order to appease our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as He demanded in the Bible. The great Arch Bishop Alejandro Ramirez Peter John Peppachino the IX wrote in his magnum opus, Arguments and Rebuttals as Well as Implications and Required Actions of the Ninth Jesus Given Commandment otherwise Know As Divine Wheel Theory, that one of the many required actions to adhere to divine wheel theory is mass storage of unused wheels. Critics of his work would argue that this is wasteful, and the Lord would not want us to squander our domain the Earth, which we must be shepherds of. Peppachino cleverly included a rebuttal in his next work, You Guys Really Don't Understand Divine Wheel Theory, Huh?, where he said that the wheels could be used, not just stored.

The use he provided was simple: act as ritual sacrifice. As we all know, wheels are made of plastic, and plastic is made of ancient dinosaurs compressed for trillions of years. What many people don't know, but the great Catholic Scholar Bobbachuno Robalino Peterson XIC wrote in his magnum opus, What Does God Like to Eat?, that one of God's favorite ritual sacrifices was dinosaur meat. This means that if we sacrifice the wheels, we would be giving God high quality food.

In conclusion, because we now know there is undoubtedly a God, and because many Catholic scholars have detailed their plans, the Vatican has an incomprehensibly large stockpile of wheels that is literally double the number of doors in the world. I think we can all agree that that's checkmate, atheists.

I have messaged Mana-Schewitz the essay.

I'm really bored at work so I'm taking another shot at it, the rules don't say that one person can't get the reward twice.

Are there more doors or wheels in the world? Countless elementary school students have been stumped by this simple question. From the perspective of a small child, this is a very difficult question to answer. These children may think: "Cars have four doors, but they also have four wheels! But my house has many doors and no wheels... But also my lawnmower has many wheels but no doors!" The innocence and naivety of youth blinds them to the true answer: there are countless more doors than wheels.

In order to definitely show this, I wish to immediately clear up some common sources of ambiguity in this argument: Windows are not doors, and treads are not wheels. I feel like these two things are often brought up to try and muddy the waters, but if you look inside you know it is a silly point. Doors are solid objects that block passageways meant for walking completely and can be opened to allow passage, windows do not do that! Wheels are circular objects that make direct contact with the ground to allow a vehicle to move, treads do not fit that criteria!

Now that we can discuss the issue like adults, let us contemplate the issue of cars; it is one that leads many to say "there are more wheels than doors!". Simpletons whom say this clearly do not realize that most cars have four doors and four wheels. While semi trucks will have a better wheel to door ratio (many semi trucks have 16 wheels and only 4 doors), semi trucks make up a fraction of the worlds vehicular fleet. At best, we can say cars contribute one or two more wheels than doors per car, which will not be enough to counter my next point.

While cars contribute a small number of wheels, homes contribute a far larger number of doors! Each single family home in the US contributes AT LEAST two doors, and no wheels. I would say the far larger estimate of 10 doors (front door, back door, garage door, two bathroom door, half bath door, bedroom door, two closet doors, door into the garage) is a much more good faith estimate. That means that even if every single family home had FOUR cars, a single home is easily outpacing the cars it provides. It seems silly to me to think that cars could out number doors.

Another crippling blow to the position that wheels out number doors are commercial buildings! Shops like Walmart (not sponsored), Target (not sponsored), PetSmart (technically not sponsored but I do work for them), PetCo (definitely not sponsored), Krogers (not sponsored), Publix (not sponsored), Costco (not sponsored), Sam's Club (not sponsored), Radio Shack (not sponsored), TJ Max (not sponsored), Tesco (not sponsored), Chipotle (not sponsored), and many more (all of which are not sponsored) have many more doors than wheels. While there may be wheels for stocking purposes, there are doors on refrigerators in these buildings, doors on the public restrooms, doors to get into the building, doors in the break rooms, and many more doors! It seems unlikely that in a capitalist society, even a declining one like Trump's America, there would be so few shops wheels could out number them.

Speaking of capitalism, though, we now reach the greatest argument for the foolish wheel supremacy position (which I will dismantle): There are wheel factories that produce thousands, if not millions, of wheels a day. This is very true, and a troubling point that scholars need to be careful to not overlook. As a gentleman and scholar, I have not overlooked this point, and instead counter with the simple fact that there are door factories as well. These door factories also produce thousands, if not millions of doors a day. Therefore, we must declare door factories and wheel factories to be irrelevant to this argument, since both produce these goods and cancel eachother our.

Luckily for the truth, capitalism also supports that there are more doors than wheels. One of the greatest examples of capitalism's great greed and wastefulness is the cruise ship - which is a giant boat with absolutely zero wheels. But they do act as hotels on the sea, and what do hotels require? Doors. Each cruise ship has hundreds of doors, if not thousands. And these cruise ships are bountiful in our land of waste and plenty. Many experts estimate there are over three hundred cruise ships in Florida at any given time, meaning that at any given moment there are tens of thousands more doors than wheels on Florida's seas. Don't forget that there are private boats with doors as well - such as house boats or yachts. Heck, the pontoon I rented on vacation had three doors.

Another important source of doors are massive buildings. The empire State building has 100 floors - meaning it easily houses 10000 doors. The White House has well over a thousand doors. Each church has at least five doors, if not fifteen. Shopping malls feature countless doors, outlet malls the same. Casinos are awash with doors, and gyms have many of them. It is simply inconceivable that there could be more wheels than doors.

In conclusion, we all need to grow up. This is not a hard question. When you were a child, you were allowed to not be sure. But we're not in school anymore. We're not playing Cops and Robbers on the playground, and we're not playing Bakugan (not sponsored) in our Pokemon (not sponsored) lunch box because our mom wouldn't let us buy the Bakugan (not sponsored) arena. As adults with fully formed brains and formal educations, we can put this debate to rest. I hope that you, like myself, can accept our roll as adults and proclaim the truth.

Without a doubt, with no ambiguity or nuance, with no hesitation or stalling, from the bottom of my heart and the deepest wrinkles of my brain, I am certain that there are far more doors than wheels on Mother Gaea.

A STORY OF DOORS AND WHEELS:
Yep, a person walks through yet another door. And here he notices two wheels of his chair. Isn't that enough to prove that there are more wheels than doors? No, of course not! One observation isn't enough; even the most basic method of inquiry doesn't accept it! Yep, so he looks at more doors in his office home and in every shop. Yet, he finds no wheels. Well, as you may have thought, this still isn't enough; Aren't there so many vehicles in the world? Don't they have so many wheels, he asks. He googles and finds around 1 billion cars, 1 billion bicycles are several hundred million trucks. Surely that is enough, right? Nope. There are several billion establishments in the world, and they have many doors! Certainly an edge to doors. Then again, he thinks for a second. So many wheels on wheelchairs.... so many as bearings... Oh well. Surely wheels should be winning, right? He asks ChatGPT. D'oh! Turns out a moulecule is called a door. And by the rules of the question 🤯, they count! Well, that's it. Doors is the res - wait what???? Someone just provided proof that most experts don't call it a door! Wheels are so back! Team Wheel wheeeling to victor- no, not again! not another reversal! Turns out users voted for doors in a poll! Oh no! I think wheels is surely gon- you know it by now, turns out the market creator excluded the people who had a bet in the market! Yaya, I think wheels wins. Yep, market resolves yes.

1 WEEK LATER
What? An unresolution???! No way! Somebody provided such compelling evidence for doors that this happened - I mean, idk what to say, as they say, you know, et cetera. Nevermind, we'll see what evidence pops- What? Somebody used 100 terabytes to create so many wheels? Yeah, this is spiraling into nonsense. This is a victory for wheels! Music! Confetti! Wait, confetti has a molecule called wheels on it? Hooray! Double confetti!

FINALE: THIS WAS SORELY NEEDED! 🔴
Finally, we as solemn manifolds playing this beautiful game of predictions must earnestly and honestly resolve this market to wheels! Notification - Oh no! Misresolution! Well, mods can fix that. @mods pleas- YES! Finally, this question has got the correct answer: wheels.

Living things are full of valves, which are a kind of door; wheels are largely confined to human technology.

Padding that out to a thousand words would be a waste of time, and if it was required to be a thousand words, that would be a good use of ai.

Complete waste of time but I'm doing it anyway. i'll be back in an hour
