How to replace string with a function value? (alien.top)

I want to convert the timestamps in a .zsh_history file to their readable equivalents.

Is there some search and replace I can do in emacs that will replace the time with something like (format-time-string unixtime)?

This same question was asked in stack exchange: https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/79221/is-it-possible-for-a-query-replace-regex-to-replace-the-value-with-a-computed-va

Yes, I know it's the same guy.

And how is this a meaningful answer to the question?

Is there some rule that questions asked here shouldn't be asked on stackexchange too?
