$whois google.com shows similar results, I think this has nothing to do with the downtime, or I'm missing something.

If this is about weird/vulgar statements with FACEBOOK.COM in the name, they exist for just about every big domain. Whois queries return results for subdomain matches.

Could someone share what we're supposed to be seeing? I find it really irritating when people post potentially time-sensitive stuff that can disappear without caching/inlining the expected result.

Something is proxying my whois queries, I don't see any of this and instead get Facebook's Markmonitor result.

This is old. You can see this on most big company whois lookups. It is just subdomains that show up since whois just pulls everything with the domain name in it.
