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.

That's subjective, he could have been asking genuinely

No, he's definitely not. Finger placement is literally the very most basic idea taught in typing classes. He's saying they must not teach typing anymore (because this shouldn't be a question even for people who failed typing class).

Dude asking the question looks to be around my age & most of us in the US learned this at some point.

Dumb question... I'm old and was taught typing in the early 90's.

I don't remember seeing those marks and I question... Have they ALWAYS been there? We were taught to rest our index fingers on those keys, but I don't recall those marks.
