That looks like Hans Sanitizer.

[–] sobriquet@aussie.zone 14 points 2 months 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 2 months 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.

But my Sandschneidemaschine is broken!

[–] b_tr3e@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The Sandschneidemaschinenmechanikermeister will take care of that.

Man, that language is crazy.

[–] stu42j@lemm.ee 19 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

[–] lgmjon64@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] sobriquet@aussie.zone 2 points 2 months ago

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

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

Well, the "s" is lower case, too

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

For inflection. GermAHNs.

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.

That’s like 7,5 million Germans.

Fission Mailed Successfully

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 8 points 2 months 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.

0,09% aren't enough.

"Maximum Lasting Formula with Vitamin M"

Wow, it must be made with unobtainium!

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maximum Lasting

That’s not the word I saw. 😳

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

I’m with you on this one.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 3 points 2 months ago

That's not what it says.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Pocket sand!

...Hanitizer

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

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

Why else would they call it a handitiser

/S
