Dear Neologist,
Is there a word in German that explains seeing pictures of your friends from growing up on Facebook with their children who are now just as old as you were the last time you saw your friend in real life?
Sincerely,

Dear Shocked,
The word you're looking for is
Sozialmedial ausgelöster Zeitverlaufsbewußtseinsschub
m, zo'-tsee-ahl-may-dee-ahl' ous'-guh-loes'-ter
tsait'-fer-laofs-ba-voost'-zayns-shoob'
(social media triggered time passage awareness push)
It's existential jet lag, the painful realization
that it's later than you think.
Mit herzlichen Grüßen,
The Neologist
