I never understand those kinds of posts. It makes me concerned that so many people have such a loose grasp of the passage of time.
It is because their lives are too boring and uneventful? Is it because their life is very hectic with constant responsibility?
I see comments about x being y years ago “do you feel old now”, and all I can think is that even covid feels like a lifetime ago and that was only a few years ago.
If you look at my comment, I’m taking about the inability to recognise how long ago familiar things have happened, specifically not realising that something familiar happened a long time ago.
Do you find yourself being surprised that things you are familiar with happened when they happened rather than happening much more recently? Have you not noticed that a year passes nearly every 365 days?

Out of curiosity, how old are you?
Between 35 and 45
Interesting, I’m similarly in that range and I can definitely perceive the difference in the passage of time relative to when I was younger.
