That looks like Hans Sanitizer.

[–] sobriquet@aussie.zone 14 points 10 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 10 months ago

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

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 32 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

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

[–] b_tr3e@feddit.org 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But my Sandschneidemaschine is broken!

[–] b_tr3e@feddit.org 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Sandschneidemaschinenmechanikermeister will take care of that.

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Man, that language is crazy.

[–] stu42j@lemm.ee 19 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] lgmjon64@lemmy.world 28 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago

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

[–] sobriquet@aussie.zone 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] hogmomma@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I could tell by the pixels.

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 10 months ago

The illusion is good, balanced enough to trick skimmers

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Well, the "s" is lower case, too

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

For inflection. GermAHNs.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

That’s like 7,5 million Germans.

"Masturbating formula with Vitamin M"

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 8 points 10 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.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago

He's also a primary care provider lol

[–] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

0,09% aren't enough.

"Masturbating Formula with Vitamin M"

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

[–] Tailz@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months 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 10 months ago (1 children)

Maximum Lasting

That’s not the word I saw. 😳

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 months ago

I’m with you on this one.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 3 points 10 months ago

That's not what it says.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 3 points 10 months ago

Pocket sand!

...Hanitizer

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months 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 10 months ago (1 children)

All you Krauts better watch your backs!

[–] b_tr3e@feddit.org 4 points 10 months ago

There is nothing wrong with my backs.
