That looks like Hans Sanitizer.

[–] sobriquet@aussie.zone 13 points 2 days 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 5 points 2 days 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 2 days ago

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

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

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

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But my Sandschneidemaschine is broken!

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

The Sandschneidemaschinenmechanikermeister will take care of that.

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

Man, that language is crazy.

[–] TheRealKuni@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

That’s like 7,5 million Germans.

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.

"Masturbating Formula with Vitamin M"

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

[–] stu42j@lemm.ee 19 points 2 days ago (4 children)

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

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

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

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

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

[–] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

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

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] hogmomma@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I could tell by the pixels.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 2 days ago

The illusion is good, balanced enough to trick skimmers

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

Well, the "s" is lower case, too

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

For inflection. GermAHNs.

"Masturbating formula with Vitamin M"

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 2 days ago

Oh is that what that said - I was like wtf is Vitamin 2!?!

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

Pocket sand!

[–] Tailz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

How I read in my dreams:

0,09% aren't enough.

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

I see your dad values efficiency in his communications.

"Maximum Lasting Formula with Vitamin M"

Wow, it must be made with unobtainium!

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maximum Lasting

That’s not the word I saw. 😳

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

I’m with you on this one.

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

That's not what it says.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days 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 2 days ago (1 children)

All you Krauts better watch your backs!

[–] b_tr3e@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

There is nothing wrong with my backs.
