That looks like Hans Sanitizer.

[–] sobriquet@aussie.zone 14 points 1 year 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 year 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 year ago

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

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

The Sandschneidemaschinenmechanikermeister will take care of that.

Man, that language is crazy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I could tell by the pixels.

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

The illusion is good, balanced enough to trick skimmers

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

Well, the "s" is lower case, too

[–] Randelung@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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.

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

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 1 year ago (1 children)

Maximum Lasting

That’s not the word I saw. 😳

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

I’m with you on this one.

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

That's not what it says.

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

Pocket sand!

...Hanitizer

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

All you Krauts better watch your backs!

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

There is nothing wrong with my backs.

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

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

Why else would they call it a handitiser
