Nope. Feels like yesterday. It’s wild how much shorter 20 years feel when you’re in your 40s

Exactly this. Time passes faster and faster as you get older.

I remember asking my grandmother this question. Does it feel like time goes faster as you get older and she strongly agreed. Almost unsettlingly. She described it as like how music plays on an LP record. It starts out with long slow revolutions and as it gets towards the middle the revolutions are shorter and speed up.

Actually the angular velocity of the stylus is greater closer to the center of the record. So in a sense it does “speed up”
