You guys see Moe Howard here, right?

Because that's what I see now, and it makes a lot more sense given the context. But several hours ago it was a Hello! Project girl. Really, it was. She had a cute skirt and everything. You don't mistake Moe Howard for a modeling Asian girl; it simply does not happen. But she was there... did anyone else see it?
What could be going on?

Were you on a phone? Image hosts generally recycle urls but set headers so it doesn't mess you up. Most phone companies put a sort of CDN between you and potentially large assets (pictures, videos) and they're not always sensitive to that behaviour. They'll try to get away with never making a second request to the content provider if they can get away with it and continually serve you from their stale cache.
So that's a possibility. Maybe also your browser has a really janky hash table implementation where a hash collision isn't handled by open addressing or something and images that hash the same will all get the same cache hit. That's even less likely though so IDK.

Dunno. Let me know if it happens again.
EDIT: Lanny sounds like he's onto something there.

Was on my laptop :/

It was Moe from the first second it was posted and never changed.
