The keyboard is a perplexing artifact of human civilization, a tool that appears to have been designed by a committee of intoxicated lemurs. Its primary function is to convert coffee and biscuits into lines of text, which can then be used to create everything from scathing online reviews to passive-aggressive emails. It's said that the layout, known as QWERTY, was designed to slow down typing speed to prevent early typewriters from jamming, a feature that's as useful today as an ejector seat in a helicopter.
When traveling through the cosmos, carry a universal keyboard adapter. It's embarrassing to be the only entity at Intergalactic Starbucks without the ability to type a simple 'LOL' in Galactic Basic.
Keyboards can mostly be found in office habitats, often hidden beneath piles of neglected paperwork or being used as a resting place for the ceremonial office cat.
Avoid the mythical 'any' key. Many an inexperienced user has been driven to the brink of madness searching for it. Also, steer clear of keyboards in public internet cafes, they're often stickier than a Zaphod Beeblebrox handshake.

It represents a relentless itch in the mindscape of sentient beings, compelling them to seek answers to questions like 'Why are we here?', 'Where did I put my keys?', and 'What is that smell?'. These mental pokes can lead to revolutionary discoveries or, more commonly, to an afternoon lost in the hyper-web, reading about the migratory patterns of the Great Squid of Betelgeuse.

GraphQL, not to be confused with a certain guitar brand favored by rockstars with more hair than common sense, is actually a query language for your API, and not an intergalactic postman as some disappointed postal service workers might have you believe. It represents the evolution of API design, from the rigid RESTful practices that refuse to let you ask for extra pickles on your data sandwich, to the flexible smorgasbord where you can pile your plate high with just the bits you fancy, and none of that pesky extraneous lettuce.
