There's a Facebook glitch telling users they've been friends with people for 46 years

A strange message began appearing in some users' Facebook news feed Thursday morning.

The message that is appearing tells users that they have been friends with some of their Facebook friends for 46 years.

Facebook users were quick to point out the glitch on Twitter.

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.
