In English it says [Fir], which obviously is a typo, but in German it was translated to [Tanne] which means “fir tree”.
While the English version is close to the real thing ([Fr]) and thus could slip through if you are careful, there is no way any decent translator wouldn’t ask for confirmation when they are translating “Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fir tree, Sat”
Feels more like a typo
A typo that was translated in kind.

This was probably translated on a fir tree afternoon when they were already checked out for the weekend.
The “translator” was probably just some hapless programmer who fed it to ChatGPT, and does not speak a word of German nor gets paid enough to check.
I think, that’s the point of the whole post.
