People confused after seeing ‘look between x and y’ all over the internet

A new meme has emerged urging people to look at their keyboard

The internet was a massive mistake and we should all be on it less.

With that in mind, welcome to this particular corner of the internet to learn about the relentlessly tiresome meme which tells you to look between certain keys on your keyboard.

If you spend altogether too much time on social media then you'll have likely noticed your timeline inundated with a torrent of these kind of posts and wondered what the hell this was all about.

Lots of the posts tell you to look between 'h' and 'l' keys which would mean your eyes fall upon 'jk', which means 'just kidding'.

Basically a lot of these memes revolve around someone posting an absolutely braindead take to get your attention and engagement before revealing they were actually joking.

According to indy100 it actually originates from a meme posted almost three years ago on a website we definitely don't recommend you visit.

In May 2021 someone posted a picture of an anime character called Yui and told people to 'look between t and o on your'e key bored' (sic), and of course the keys in between spelled out the character's name.

Since then there's been loads of variations on it including telling you to look between the 'y' and 'i' keys so you'd get 'u', and several less savoury versions which I'm sure you'll encounter in your daily voyages through cyberspace.

Thankfully the good denizens of the internet seem to be treating this confusing trend with the proper amount of derision.

"I feel like I need to log out of Twitter until this keyboard trend dies," one person said and frankly it's hard to disagree.

Some of them are also just really confusing as they tell you to 'look between x and y on your keyboard' but there's loads of keys in between so it's incomprehensible as to what the message is supposed to be.

"Bro I'm so tired of keyboard s**t on my TL," someone else commented, while another encouraged people to 'look between SHUT and THE F**K UP on your keyboard'.

Others pointed out it was really annoying to have to 'do homework to understand wtf is going on' with a meme.

I have to agree with the person saying that 'the keyboard meme is actually killing the TL now'.

We can only hope that this trend collapses and dies out soon, that will be a good day for the internet.

At least until something else similarly inane replaces it.
