Ever wonder WHY you get certain weird Facebook ads?

First, go into "Settings" (at the top right corner), then into "Ads."

Then click "Edit" on the part that says "Ads based on my preferences."

Go into your Ad Preferences.

You'll see a bunch of different categories. Most people will have hundreds of "preferences."

You'll notice that a lot of these "preferences" are really, really........... weird.
There are categories like "Stalking"

And under foods, "Plant life-form"

Here are just some of the things that BuzzFeed staffers found listed in their "preferences":
