This image is a humorous comic strip illustrating the energy density of different fuels in megajoules per kilogram, presented with a satirical take on scale. The chart includes energy densities for sugar (19 MJ/kg), coal (24 MJ/kg), fat (39 MJ/kg), gasoline (46 MJ/kg), and uranium (76,000,000 MJ/kg). The bar for uranium is absurdly long, extending out and rolling across like a paper strip to emphasize its enormous energy density compared to the other substances. A stick figure stands next to the chart, observing the exaggerated visual representation. At the bottom, a caption reads, “Science tip: Log scales are for quitters who can’t find enough paper to make their point properly,” poking fun at the impracticality of linear scales for extreme differences in data values.
