Does anyone know what the Barnes opening Is used for?

The Barnes Opening, which starts with 1. f3, is considered an unconventional and weak opening. It's rarely used at high levels because it doesn't help control the center, develop pieces efficiently, or prepare for a strong position early in the game. In fact, it exposes the white king and creates unnecessary weaknesses.

That said, it's often used for fun or to catch opponents off guard, especially in casual or blitz games. Some players use it to take their opponent out of more familiar lines and force them into thinking on their feet. But overall, it's more of a novelty opening and not recommended for serious play if you're aiming for a strong, strategic game.
