Anyone that shares useless knowledge with you. Or, anyone who is pleasantly surprised when you feed them a nugget of knowledge. There is a mutual appreciation for often umprompted, sometimes very advanced intellectual subject matter. Sometimes exchanges are casual where one person may correct another. If the person is genuinely appreciative for the correction and having learned something, they are fact buddy material.
“Hey Bec, i just learned the Tesla induction engine is actually gonna be modified and more all about a permanent magnetic wheel. I know you aren’t into cars, but you’re into facts, and we haven’t fact buddied since college dorm life.”
“Hey Jan I was studying for my nursing exam and i can’t believe I didn’t know that diabetes counts as a disability. Like blindness, paralysis, etc. It’s crazy!”
“Since you work for the state can you tell me about it? What does that mean? Thanks fact buddy!”
“Fyi Starbucks double points this am what do you want. Also, joe is gonna be sick and management is on a roll, so you want me to pick you up a drink?”
“You’re a legit fact buddy.”

A person who looks like you, whom a mutual friend or acquaintance has photographed or tagged on social media. Or mentioned. Or put you in contact with. Whatever. You then confirm the verisimilitudinousness and end up being buddies. What could be easier, or freakier?
S: The pool attendant at my gym looks SOOOOOO much like you. I want to take his picture.
H: You should. I'd like to have him as my Face Buddy.
