Skate videos popularized the use of the fish eye lens. Music videos had people waving their hands around in the face of the camera because it looks cool through that lens. The idea was applied to still images, and this is the result.

Is this a copy/paste of when this meme was psoted a few weeks ago? This comment really looks familiar...

[–] gastroglizzy@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No. I typed it with my own thumbs, from my own mind.

I was confused about how you would type with only your thumbs on a PC keyboard. Then I remembered that there are phones too and that I type with my thumbs on them...

There's also this kind of thing.

(I found a surprising number of unfamiliar kinds of input devices when searching for ‘thumb keyboard’ just now — some of which I wouldn't mind trying like ten years ago.)

Is that a PC keyboard for people who learned to type on a phone?!

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's more for sporadic use in games, with TVs and such, when having a full-size keyboard is inconvenient. Presumably it could also be used with a tablet, but more typically it's a small on-desk keyboard, perhaps foldable.

I was thinking of buying something like this a bunch of years ago, when I was looking into sorta-ergonomic devices to diversify my time spent inputting stuff.

Some of these micro-keyboards have a touchpad, and on the ‘gamepad’ keyboard it's apparently on the back.

Fair enough, then it's on me for being too lazy to find what I thought I was referring to.
