People Tend To Overshare In Facebook Groups And Here Are 61 Of The Funniest And Weirdest Posts
Facebook groups are a lot like bars: every one has its own vibe, its own regulars, and its own unspoken rules. Some feel cozy and welcoming, others… a little chaotic. Here, the clientele also shapes the experience—along with the things they say out loud without a second thought. Spend enough time scrolling the platform, and you’ll see everything. So, as a gentle reminder to be mindful of where you hang out online, we’ve created this list of amusing but also slightly concerning things people shared in Facebook groups.

These online communities can shape people’s offline behavior as well. For example, research by the Guardian revealed that a network of far-right Facebook groups is exposing hundreds of thousands of Britons to racist and extremist disinformation.
Run by otherwise ordinary members of the public – many of whom are of retirement age – the groups are a hotbed of hardline anti-immigration and racist language, where online hate goes apparently unchecked.
Experts who reviewed the Guardian’s months-long data project said such groups help to create an online environment that can radicalize people into taking extreme actions, such as last year’s summer riots.
The network was exposed just weeks after 150,000 protesters from all over the country descended on London for a far-right protest, the scale of which dwarfed police estimates and whose size and toxicity shocked politicians.

The Guardian’s data projects team identified the groups from the profiles of participants in the riots. From them emerged an ecosystem where mainstream politicians are described as “treacherous” “traitors” and the police engage in “two-tier” justice.
The Guardian analyzed more than 51,000 text posts from three of the largest public groups in the network.
This found hundreds of concerning posts that experts said were peppered with misinformation and conspiracy theories, containing far-right tropes, the use of racist slurs, and evidence of white nativism.
Even small online groups can set a tone that spreads widely.

Small Town Facebook Groups Are My Favorite
A key element of a group’s success is the admins, and they often come from different social backgrounds.
Most of the admins the Guardian contacted would not speak on the record, but from her doorstep in a Leicestershire village, one, who moderates six groups with nearly 400,000 members between them, said far-right users were “deleted and blocked” from the groups.
However, the investigation found swathes of extreme far-right posts, including disinformation and well-known debunked conspiracy narratives, some of which were spread word-for-word or with slight variations in writing across multiple connected groups.
Group rules and moderation aren’t always enough to stop influence from spreading.

This Is My Favorite Facebook Group
Immigrants come in for the most vituperative language, including demonizing and dehumanizing slurs: “criminals,” “parasites,” and so on.
The Guardian’s investigation into these vastly popular groups cast new light on the scale of far-right disinformation, which appears to be disseminated at an industrial scale on social media.
The content shared in the groups also raises new concerns about moderation policies, even though Meta had already announced sweeping changes to its content moderation policies.
Online communities can amplify dangerous ideas even when platforms try to intervene.

Why are you protecting the dog from identification? 🤔 Does the dog have warrants? Or did the dog get the couch stuck in the first place?
Dr. Julia Ebner, a radicalization researcher at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and an expert on online radicalization, said such spaces can act as breeding grounds for extremist ideologies and “definitely play a role in the radicalization of individuals”.
“What is new is that the online spaces amplify a lot of these dynamics,” she said.
“The algorithmic amplification, the speed at which people can end up in a radicalization engine. Then there are the new technologies from fabricated videos to deepfakes to bot automation.”

Why stop there? You could have a company called Electonics sell curries. A company called Pharmacy which sells boots. Or a company called Pasties which sells people called Gregg.
The digital age means that people trust the content produced or shared by individual accounts in groups that might, at first glance, seem inconsequential and even fun — like a space for mushroom-picking enthusiasts — regardless of their ideological leanings, more than they tend to trust established institutions’ accounts. And that's inherently dangerous.
It’s a reminder that internet culture can shape what people believe — even in spaces that seem harmless.

This Elderly Woman Posted This In My Local Buy Nothing Group
She’s never posted anything there before, so she hasn't interacted with the group. This is a photo of her husband wearing a wedding dress. The whole thing has nothing to do with Buy Nothing. I have no clue why she posted it there.

My ex-husband was infamous for giving gifts that he was interested in but the person he was giving the gift to was not. Once he gave his niece a CD (this was the 90’s) of a band he liked. She unwrapped the CD, looked at it looked at him and just handed it back to him.

I did something similar when I was a lad. I was delivering pizzas in my POS Chevy Chevette. Somehow I parked behind a nearly identical Chevette, delivered the pizza and got in the wrong car. Put the key in the ignition and it wouldn't start. What the heck? Then noticed some stuff in the center that wasn't mine...

I hate to say it... there's usually reasons people need to couch serve, and you have better find out before inviting them in. Friend got stabbed 3 times by an 80 year old man who she tried to help because she thought he shouldn't be staying at a shelter at his age.

The Sims Facebook Group Is A Whole Different Gamer Breed
LillieMean 8 hours ago
The career of a scientist is so demanding that I solved my scientist sim's problems by giving her an alien sim as a boyfriend. Their marriage is purely for convenience and the alien boyfriend had two children as a result of the pollination unit abductions. The scientist is doing science while the alien husband is a stay-at-home dad. The children are already in university and the scientist sim's younger clone lives in the same neighborhood because she wanted to continue spreading her polygon genes. Sims players are truly a category of their own among gamers.

Local Free Stuff Group
Just saw this today. Apparently, he frequently posts in the group asking for non-essential things and gets mad when people don't want to give it to him. He also keeps trying to excuse his behavior by saying he's disabled, which I'm not sure if that's true or not.
In the comments, he says: "Well, he does need food too", while in another post, he said that if somebody buys what he wants, he'll share his food with them.
