That looks like Hans Sanitizer.

[–] sobriquet@aussie.zone 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I spent way too much time trying to figure out what percentage of the German population are named “Hans” to see how effective this would be. According to this site and assuming a population of 84m, there’s about 0.01%. This product claims to be 0.09% effective against Germans, so it seems to be Sanitizing more than just Hans.

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

My efforts produced .25% as the number indicating this only works on the weakest hans.

I don't like sand. Its rough, it's irritating especially when it speaks german.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Jetzt werd' bloß nicht frech hier, du ferngesteuerte Unterhose!

[–] b_tr3e@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Schutt up and eat your zand. Do not force me to go for ze Labskaus!

But my Sandschneidemaschine is broken!

[–] b_tr3e@feddit.org 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Sandschneidemaschinenmechanikermeister will take care of that.

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Man, that language is crazy.

[–] stu42j@lemm.ee 19 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Curious how the "an" in Germans is in lowercase when the rest is uppercase

[–] lgmjon64@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You're right. Almost makes me think it might be photoshopped.

[–] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

Also I think the thumb in the upper part of the picture has another thumb.

[–] sobriquet@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Are you saying the internet could be lying to me?! :shocked-pikachu:

[–] hogmomma@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I could tell by the pixels.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 month ago

The illusion is good, balanced enough to trick skimmers

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Well, the "s" is lower case, too

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

For inflection. GermAHNs.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It seems the original post was deleted, but I found this version with more pixels. Sadly, someone added some shit all over it. I might try to edit it out later.

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

That’s like 7,5 million Germans.

0,09% aren't enough.

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Interestingly, hanitizer is what I call the sanitizing stuff you put on you hands.

I see your dad values efficiency in his communications.

"Masturbating Formula with Vitamin M"

See, the version without Vitamin M is less effective...

[–] Tailz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

How I read in my dreams:

"Maximum Lasting Formula with Vitamin M"

Wow, it must be made with unobtainium!

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maximum Lasting

That’s not the word I saw. 😳

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

I’m with you on this one.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 3 points 1 month ago

That's not what it says.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

Pocket sand!

...Hanitizer

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Common misconception uggh. You put it on sand to make hands. Duh

Why else would they call it a handitiser

/S

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

All you Krauts better watch your backs!

[–] b_tr3e@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

There is nothing wrong with my backs.
