Facebook algorithm is magic

One of the recommended friends gave a housemate I had from 8 years ago. We never had any mutual friends or anything. I didn't even know he has Facebook. Merely just living at the same place at the same time for a year. I was in uni, he was working. Nothing similar.

He's not in any of my socmed or contact list.

and yet facebook manage to find him...
