Last I heard something like that, the world population was more like
three billion,

More like six IIRC

It is now; the last time I heard somebody talking about "the whole world's
population could stand on X" I think it was closer to three. Feel free
to regard me as having functionally been living in a cave for the past
three decades or so.

Three decades ago - the world population on Feburay 6, 1974 was about 4.15
Billion (and they still had less than a square foot of the Isle of Wight)

Damn, how old am I getting?

Well, you're likely the oldest right now that you've ever been.
Probably.
