That's what passive perception and hidden rolls are for, but I don't remember if DnD still has that. I mostly play Pathfinder. So in this example, the rouge forgets to check the door. But as a DM, I asked the player beforehand how thorough their character is, and if they automatically check every door in exchange for a time penalty. If there's no "pressure" like chasing or being chased, I assume they check every door if that's the kind of thing they usually do, and roll for them if they forget and there's something there. Obviously a careless rogue wouldn't do this, and maybe they wouldn't check somewhere they don't expect traps like a manor party, so it depends on the character and situation. Like if they seem nervous and alert they would probably check for traps everywhere.
My players trust me to be fair in this regard and it really made the whole thing a lot smoother.
Yeah but they're not called wheels. If you go to purchase a replacement, they're called what I said before.
My own definition for this question is, a wheel is called a wheel. You don't call gears wheels, they're a mechanism. If we get too clever with definitions, I have 700 small wheels in my medicine cabinet that facilitate my daily movement
Wow that's crazy. What sort of wheels do you have?
Drawers have runners and slides, not wheels. See my other comment on wheels
By your definition dreams are not death. Unless you're one of those people that have no dreams at all, in which case my condolences.
The rest of your argument has nothing to do with anything. Schizophrenia, drugs, brain damage, none of that matters at all. You're extrapolating an afterlife based on unrelated data. You're trying to prove the unprovable using "science" that doesn't make sense and grasping for straws.
The fact is, you don't know for sure, you just have very strong faith in your own beliefs. Which is fine, it doesn't bother me what other people choose to believe in. But it doesn't make your beliefs "better" or "more scientific" than anyone else's beliefs. It's just popular right now for some reason. There was a time when Christianity was considered scientifically obvious as well, you know.
Also why are you using multiple alt accounts to post here? Seems a bit strange.
Not every cylinder is a wheel. Not every handle is connected to a door, and not every door has a handle. Sliding doors are doors, but not drawers. Cabinet doors are doors but not windows. A hinge is not a wheel. Plumbing isn't a wheel. Your capillaries and glands are not wheels.
Your definition is wheely bad
Man I really don't like Roblox anymore... I used to play it a lot with the kids in extended family. I was the "funcle" so to speak.
I tried to log in one day and found my password and email address has been changed. Clearly it got hacked, dunno how, since it was a very strong password manager password. Probably a data breach or something.
Anyway, I recover the account, and I'm horrified. Some weirdo has been impersonating me and speaking to the young members of our extended family. Nothing serious yet thank God, I caught it early. But really weird stuff like asking what clothes they're wearing. I contacted Roblox support but they didn't give a shit. I told the family, but I don't think they really understood what I was saying or why it's serious.
I deleted my account to remove that attack vector because that's just terrifying. Worse than those baby monitors security.
My office chair has 5, I counted those. I have a bicycle with 2, also counted. No lawnmower, I don't have a lawn. I use bark and drought resistant native plants to preserve water. My fridge has 2, the ironing board nobody uses and should really be chucked has 2, my car has 4. That's everything
Ok I think this actually has way too much speculation and is asking the wrong question. Instead of "in your opinion globally are there more x or y", why not quantify it? Specifically in your instance, does your living quarters and personal belongings and other places you frequent have more doors or wheels? Go count them. We can actually solve this with enough data.
For me it's doors by a long shot. Almost nothing in my life has wheels. I live frugally and cheap furniture usually doesn't have wheels. I don't own Lego as other comments suggest. Drawers are not doors. Gears are not wheels. Eyes (wtf) and widows are not doors. The breakdown in my life is:
42 doors 15 wheels
Manager-y people and businesses love Microsoft because they're "official", and they have certain guarantees about service and support.
It's a hard sell to your CTO to switch to Linux when Microsoft has an actual salesperson representative turn up, and open source has... Nobody. Except maybe the internal I.T. team, but nobody listens to them for important decisions.
People also don't really understand open source. It seems communist and weird to them. "So what, if there's a bug, someone just decides to fix it when they feel like it? No manager cracking the whip?" That's foreign and scary to them, and implies that workers can make good products without whips. Safer to go with the familiar multibillion (or is it trillion now?) business
It's A.I. generated. On the left the guy's head is on backwards, the woman's leg is backwards, and the statue's shoes say 01 instead of 10.
Rogue rolls a 3
"There doesn't seem to be any traps..."

The only risk to this is players catch on pretty fast, they're not stupid. It makes the world feel more silly or videogame-y, which can be fine, but it's a design choice. For more realistic games or settings, it's better for things to be as they are, the players uncover what was already there (or not).
Like every religion, I've met good ones and bad ones. People just pretend there aren't bad atheists for some reason.
I call bad atheism "The Cult of the Void". They believe that, after you die, there is just oblivion. They have no more empirical evidence for this than any other belief system, but they're absolutely convinced they're correct, and will shit on everyone else's beliefs as being "unscientific". I've seen them reduce kids to tears, framing death as a terrifying and brutal thing. They seem obsessed with death, it's the centrepoint of their religion.
They usually recruit by bullying and negging people into believing their beliefs are stupid, and framing their religion as the only logical one. In the presence of any other religion or spiritual practices, they get petulant and usually start harassing people. God forbid anyone have any other culture.
The good atheists are respectful and curious. They don't share the belief, but they'll participate, or politely decline. They don't harass people or denigrate their beliefs. They probably outnumber the bad ones, but it's the whole "vocal minority" thing that makes it seem like they're everywhere. You don't notice the quiet ones that are just existing happily.
Imagine A.I. deciding to fuck your commute home because you and 2 other cars are turning but there's 20,000 cars going straight so it trolley problems your ass into traffic purgatory
I've noticed LLMs are really good at finding use cases for themselves everywhere, even if it's a bit of a stretch
