Uranium-235 Returns After 700 Million Years

me returning to my 15 pound chunk of uranium-235 after 700 million years to see that it has now been reduced to 7.5 lbs

A long-nosed dog stares at a small pineapple on a wooden floor. The caption jokes that uranium-235 loses half its mass after its roughly 700-million-year half-life, so returning to a 15-pound chunk would reveal only 7.5 pounds remaining. It is used as an absurd reaction to waiting an extremely long time and finding that something has diminished. EN: A long-nosed dog stares at a small pineapple on a wooden floor.
