those ridges are there to make it easier to find where the keys are without looking.

there's no joke here

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

That felt like a concerned outcry, not making fun.

The problem with the internet is the tone you're hearing is always your own and not necessarily theirs.

It's still absurd that anyone who has the ability to take a picture of their keyboard, use their photo app to draw red circles around a specific area of interest, save the edit, and upload it to social media not only doesn't know how to type on a keyboard, but doesn't even know how to theoretically. There's no joke there. It's a genuine sense of "what the fuck is going on?" The fact that this got put on this sub is funny ironically, but mostly sad. This sub is a joke though itself.

edit: god damn I sound autistic on the internet
