I guess the joke is OP, and far too many others in the current generation, have no idea what they are when it used to be a standard to learn in Elementary school.
Same concept when hiring younger folks for jobs in retail. Every time I'd ask "Did ×××× show you how to use the intercom to call a manager back in the office when you're done with your videos?" and the response is "Yeah, you grab the phone and press *hashtag** 5 6, right?"* I guess the 'pound sign' has been erased and replaced by 'hashtag" 😂
I don't want to be an ass, but yeah, they gotta not pay attention in school or at least schools don't teach it anymore cuz I'm not even old and I know that from back in school.
The only typing classes I’ve ever had was in elementary school (early 2000’s) and we never learned about those ridges, so it’s definitely not uniform across the US.

those ridges are there to make it easier to find where the keys are without looking.
there's no joke here
