That looks like Hans Sanitizer.

[–] sobriquet@aussie.zone 14 points 2 weeks 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 weeks 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 weeks ago (1 children)

The Sandschneidemaschinenmechanikermeister will take care of that.

Man, that language is crazy.

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

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

[–] lgmjon64@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks 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 weeks ago

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

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

Well, the "s" is lower case, too

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks 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.

0,09% aren't enough.

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

"Maximum Lasting Formula with Vitamin M"

Wow, it must be made with unobtainium!

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

Maximum Lasting

That’s not the word I saw. 😳

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

I’m with you on this one.

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

That's not what it says.

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

Pocket sand!

...Hanitizer

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

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

Why else would they call it a handitiser

/S
