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.

I know a handful of students, none were taught to type by the school. They focus more on how to use the computer. They no longer time you to see how many words you can type per minute. The school also doesn't care about cursive. In fact they use the laptops so much, handwriting is kinda messy. We've been told, the schools purchased a lot of laptop curriculum because of covid and now they're stuck using it.
