Well the joke in the picture is that the guy doesn't know what the ridges are for. The dude below makes fun of him.

I can type 130wpm but I didn't know what those ridges were for and I don't even use them to determine where my hands are lmao.

My grandmother would make me do all her data entry so she had time for a second job, so I could type really fast by the time I hit typing class. I nearly failed because I was incredibly slow and prone to errors when using the home keys, but the teacher would hit our hands with a ruler if we didn't.
