I don’t know what to explain. You don’t even watch Doctor Who, so I’m surprised anything in this thread makes sense.

The first part of your statement didn’t even have anything to do with Doctor Who.

Not that the rest wasn’t confusing as well.

What’s weird about personally thinking shorts look silly?

Speaking for myself here, it’s not necessarily the message, it’s the way it was communicated. You not liking shorts has nothing to do with the rest of the sentence—you might as well have said “I don’t like sand” in your opening clause.

Why is it when I google “hebephile”, the first result I get right at the top has a photo of Luke Skywalker from TLJ in it?

Apparently that suggested snippet uses a page from the Criminal Minds Wikia. If you click on that image, you see that it is hosted on the Criminal Minds Wikia. My guess is that at the bottom of that page in the “fan feed” section, the image once appeared. The Google algorithm must have gotten confused and thought that was part of the article content, and therefore, used it as the image.

The weird thing about is that it used this entry from the Criminal Minds Wikia, and not the Wikipedia page. Not sure why the algorithm did that.

And I do hate those “suggested pages” sidebar thingies.

Firefox Quantum
Time

So I downloaded this on my Mac just recently. I loaded twelve tabs of mostly Wikipedia articles mixed in with some other stuff in both Firefox and Safari Technology Preview. As soon as all pages were loaded, Firefox was using 328.9 MB of memory, while Safari was using only 110 MB. However, Firefox was using about twelve times as much energy as Safari, according to Activity Monitor’s energy tracking feature. Firefox’s memory usage has held steady for close to ten minutes.
