When I notice this experience, it's usually because it's something I don't normally talk about. I don't believe that Facebook knows so much (about me and the people around me) that it knows about unlikely conversations I've just had based on (say) a conversation on a radio station I randomly heard while skimming through channels.
I'm willing to believe it's a coincidence combined with my brain happening to bring it to my attention; but I'd believe they're hacking my microphone before I'd believe in clairvoyance.
