23 Strange Groups on Facebook That Prove Californians Will Bond Over Anything

If you think your hobbies are niche, wait until you see what people are doing on Facebook.

Entire groups exist for fans of ceiling fans, for people who obsess over different styles of lawn stripes, and even for folks who roleplay as ants.

It turns out no interest is too bizarre for a community to spring up around it.

These groups are proof that Californians and people across the world can and will bond over anything.

People Who Yell “Moo” at Cows Out Their Car Window

If you’ve ever driven past a cow and felt the urge to yell “moo,” you’re not alone.

Thousands of people have joined forces in a Facebook group just to brag about their cow-mooing skills.

Posts include videos of successful “conversations” with cows, plus debates about which regions have the most responsive livestock. Midwest members insist their cows are friendlier.

Some members even rate each other’s moos on pitch and authenticity. It’s like American Idol, but for barnyard impressions.

What starts as a silly impulse turns into a whole hobby. That’s Facebook magic.

The Group Where Everyone Pretends to Be Ants

Yes, there’s a group with millions of people role-playing as ants. Members comment things like “lift crumb” or “march in line” under posts.

The goal? Work together as a colony and follow commands from the “queen.”

It sounds bizarre. But the group exploded during the pandemic when people craved a lighthearted community.

Some take their roles very seriously, adding ant facts or photos of real ant farms to the feed. Others just enjoy the inside jokes.

It proves people can bond over pretending to carry sugar cubes in unity.

Birds Aren’t Real (But We Love Them Anyway)

This satirical group claims birds are government surveillance drones. Members post memes about pigeons charging on lampposts like they’re “refueling stations.”

It’s tongue-in-cheek, but also a full-on parody movement. People dress up in “Birds Aren’t Real” merch and share photos from real-life meetups.

What makes it so entertaining is the blend of humor, conspiracy culture, and memes. It scratches every itch at once.

Even if you know birds are, well, birds, it’s fun to play along.

Crockpot Enthusiasts Who Post Way Too Much Soup

Slow cookers have a devoted following, but some Facebook groups take it to extremes. We’re talking about people who proudly share photos of beige stews that look like abstract art.

Comments usually consist of encouragement like, “Looks delicious, hun!” even when the meal looks questionable.

Some members admit they don’t even eat what they make; they just like experimenting with random pantry finds.

Cream of mushroom soup, ranch seasoning, and hot dogs? Sure, why not?

For these folks, it’s less about eating and more about belonging to the Crockpot cult.

People Obsessed With Power Washing Videos

Those little plastic tabs that keep bread bags closed? Some people are obsessed with them.

It’s the most American thing ever: debating reheating methods online.
