[Cueball leading White Hat and Megan to a giant pyramid modelled after Maslow's hierarchy of needs, with each tier labelled after its need on the pyramid, and a comment next to it in the comic.]
- Self actualization: [X] Honestly questioning my life choices here
- Esteem: [X] People seem less impressed by it than I hoped
- Belonging and Love: [X] Friends are worried about me
- Safety: [Checkmark] Highly defensible
- Physiological needs: [X] Provides basic shelter but no food, water, heat, et cetera.
- Caption: I built Maslow's pyramid thing, but it's a total ripoff - it's only providing 20% of my needs.

The 20% figure is incorrect. The lower levels of the pyramid have more volume than the upper levels. By my arithmetic, the breakdown is (rounded) 1%, 6%, 15%, 30%, and 49%, so the "safety" level provides 30% of his needs. Jordan Brown (talk) 00:27, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
- Plus the bottom layer ought to get partial credit for supplying basic shelter. Jordan Brown (talk) 00:29, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
