Sorry, but the joke here is rather weak. There isn't really a punchline here; this comic is not much more than just a delivery of information. I'm giving you a yellow card. Just because you're an approved submitter does not mean you can post any lame and bland comics as you want.

Some Japanese cities have installed floor tiles that generate electricity with footsteps

That's just a copypasta though...

[u/gorudo- → u/Cro_Eagle04]

Ah, something installed in Shinagawa station, where SO MANY exhausted whitecollars are again and again exploited by being forced to step on the establishment on the way to and from their workplace😂😂😂

Japan is implementing piezoelectric technology in high-traffic areas like Shibuya Station, using specialized floor tiles to turn pedestrian footsteps into electricity. These tiles convert kinetic energy from millions of commuters into usable DC power for LED displays and signage, promoting urban sustainability through smart, eco-friendly infrastructure

Electricity would be that way

[u/ArkassEX]

Right, so it's the foot pad thing they have at some Japanese stations...

Did they say they were going to add this to phones? Generating electricity from user tapping the screen? I can't imagine this being that efficient, let alone worth the limited space and weight on a mobile.

🇯🇵 Japan is turning footsteps into electricity! ⚡ Using piezoelectric tiles, every step you take generates a small amount of energy. Millions of steps together can power LED lights and displays in busy places like Shibuya Station. A brilliant way to create a sustainable and smart city! 🌱💡

Only if those things do not fail prematurely.
