I mean, you even attempted it. I would've looked at it and told them their deadline or scope was unrealistic.

I mean I don't want to do any project with a deadline, ever again, if possible, and I haven't even been exposed to the level of stress and pressure that people get at certain companies.

I thought deadlines had gotten rid of a decade ago in software engineering with the rise of agile software development and the realization that software is difficult to neatly scope, and development time is almost impossible to predict.

I’m in the same boat as you, haven’t worked on anything with a deadline for the past 2 and a half years and I never want to go back to it, totally pointless arbitrary dates that are never met.
