What's with @facebook saying we've all been friends for 46 years? Is this like the Y2K glitch? #nonewfriends #nye #2016

I just randomly logged onto Facebook, and they told me I'd been friends with someone for 46 years. I'm 32 years old.

There are a few things wrong with this picture. First, neither Facebook nor the internet existed 46 years ago. And secondly, a lot of people seeing this message weren’t even alive back in 1969.

Tech Insider reached out to Facebook for comment on what exactly was going on and will update once we hear back.
