Joule is the best unit you can literally apply it to everything because it's essentially a raw unit of energy.
What? Joule is an energy unit and energy is a scalar quantity and not a vector. There is no "energy direction" and no "distance".
Edit: even your edit doesn't make sense. Provide a source that says that energy or joule is somehow a vector.
If you set one of the axis to 1 than it's effectively a scalar that's why I love it so much.
Please, someone fix the meme. Joule x a vector (represented by angles measured in radians).
