In the server we have a knack for comparing keysmashes from certain members to objects due to how they look. It's all in good fun and never aimed to make anyone embarrassed about their keysmashes, in fact it's sort of a comedic honor.
FJ: Meet the Microwave
FJ: Meet the Microwave
The most famous keysmash within the lab is from user FJ, who has had his keysmashes compared to a microwave. His keysmashes are characterized by the use of the bottom row keys on a keyboard (V, M, N, B). After many microwavings, Blue, who has Nitro, imported a microwave emoji in a personal server in order to react to FJ's keysmashes with it. The origins of microwave claims are unfortunately unknown, but it soon became the most notable keysmash pattern. FJ has since embraced this phenomenon, and has even gone as far as to kin an actual microwave, with jokes about microwaving things and people.

Example of a drowning keysmash. Most of these samples start with the letter G, in fact it's rare to find a sample without G as a starting letter.
The drowning emoji itself. Although there is no water here, you can imagine that there is.
Hiaen: Drowning in the Deep
Hiaen: Drowning in the Deep
Another more rare keysmash that we taunt and poke fun at is Hiaen's "drowning" keysmash, which is characterized by the use of letters on only the right side of the keyboard (G, H, L, U). It should be important to note that this is not her default keysmash, only when she is engaging in a conversation with one hand. The origins of claiming this pattern as a drowning keysmash came from user Custy on November 12th, 2020, who after such a keysmash, claimed that "Hiaen fucking drowned."¹ Coincidentally, Hiaen happened to be drinking hot chocolate and almost choked on it in an act of self fulfilling prophecy after seeing the message. Sometime after the first event, Blue also implemented a drowning emoji in their server in order to react with it to drowning keysmashes.
Jacob: Someone Left the Faucet On
Jacob: Someone Left the Faucet On
A more recent keysmash that does come up frequently is Jacob's "faucet" keysmash, which is called so due to the frequent use of letters that emulate water running (F, S, H). These are usually combined with the letters G and D, due to the semi-fluid nature of Jacob's keysmashes. This claim also originated from Custy on December 30th, saying that "Jacob's keysmashes reminds [them] of a water spout."² Since then, people have been adding the default potable water (🚰) emoji as a reaction.
