Wheel like shapes occur all the time in nature.

The AXLE was an invention, the wheel is just something you find on the ground.

You mean just a round piece of wood? That's not a wheel. A wheel has a hole for the axle. Also you don't just find horizontal slices of tree in nature, you have to cut a tree in a specific way.

>or a fucking rock?
I doubt anyone has ever found a rock that can be used as a wheel without any sculpting.

Axle is the thing you find laying on the ground, it's literally just logs you roll stuff over which has been used since basically forever. Wheels require innovativness and actual skill since nothing in nature naturally works as a wheel.

Axles DO occur in nature. Ever seen a stick? Get fucked retard.

Also the roller was definitely invented before the wheel, and the wheel is just a modified roller.

maybe your thinking of a bearing?

an axle is just a stick mounted through a pair of wheels.

no, the axle refers to the assembly.
it includes the wheels, the bearings, and the rod.

whatever, my point still stands.
a wheel with no hole in it isn't an invention, its just a shape that you can roll down a hill.
putting a stick through two wheels is an innovation, carving out a cylinder slice with no hole in it is just kindergarten shenanigans, its useless, can't be used for nothing.

You shouldn't be praising the man who 'invented' the wheel, you should be praising the man who invented the axle.

Wrong:

i mean think about that poor bastard who figured it out, and how he has to live in the shadow of the guy who carved a wheel out of stone, just a big flat disc with no hole in it, like he was some sort of fucking genius. fuck that guy and fuck you for worshiping him.

A wheel with no hole in it isn't a wheel. The man who first invented the wheel is way smarter than you, and he couldn't even speak.

an axle isn't an axle until its mated to the wheel. A wheel is still a wheel even if it isn't being used as one, its just a shape with no hole in it.

an axle that hasn't been applied is just a stick. A wheel that hasn't been applied is still a wheel, wheels predate the axle, which is why its not an invention.

oh balooney, you never heard of a wheel of cheese? show me the hole on a wheel of cheese! You'd still call a stone disc a wheel if you rolled it down a hill, it exists independant of the axle, and axle doesn't exist until its been mated with the wheel.

Then a wheel isn't a wheel until mated to an axle.

I bet you the guy who invented the axle also invented the bearing, and probably carved a hole in the wheel, then some giant thug who did nothing but carve wheel discs all day stole all the credit cause everybody thought he was super deep and handsome cause he contemplated simple geometries all day, like an autist.

Whos smarter, the guy who puts all that shit together and makes it work, or some numbnut who sits there autistically making shapes hoping for something to happen?

I mean even if he did carve wheels with holes in them like some religious savant who contemplates vagina's all day, did he put them together? Did he figure out how to make them work?
NO! All he did was sit around jerking off to rock woman porn, wondering how he was going to stick his dick in the wheel without mashing his schlong into a bloody paste.
All he did was make some stupid joke about sliding a stick through the hole in the wheel like a horny manchild and everybody thinkgs HE invented the god damn wheel!

Well fuck him! Fuck Grug!

pbbt, well thats just wrong and dumb.

the point is, making a disc with a hole in it without deciding on the application beforehand isn't science, its mysticism. Your basically waiting around for someone else to solve your problem and take all the credit.

Every comic depicting a caveman inventing a wheel since the 1960's has shown a man with a chisel presiding over a disc with a hole in it.

NOT ONE mentions the full assembly, or the APPLICATION of the wheel to the axle and the axle to the bearing as being prerequisite for it be considered a wheel.

That is the typical prehistoric grunt of someone who finds all inventions obvious but only in hindsight and is, strangely, himself incapable of inventing anything.
