I guess this is a good as place as any to ask this,

Lately I keep seeing very old questions appearing on my timeline and the only reason I can see why they appear is either the question has been edited or an answer has been edited.

I cant see the reasoning behind this?

If the question already has an accepted answer why would the question need to be edited?

Like wise if the question already has an accepted answer why would the answer need to be edited?

Is there no way to control the behavior of any question to not appear at the top of the timeline?

As much as I like SE the whole thing seems pointless if i have to look through questions that were answered 3 years ago if someone edits a full stop or makes a spelling correction.

An example below

If what I am asking is beyond the control of Bicycles SE i can ask elsewhere on SE if it's inherent with SE rather than individual SE sites
