    Explanation: Caesar, at the age of 32, was still a relative no-one, a minor Roman politician from a well-established family, and mourned this fact, weeping at a statue of Alexander the Great because he felt that, at 32, he had achieved nothing, while Alexander, by 32, had performed massive and glorious deeds.

          Nothing wrong with that! Here’s a meme someone thought you’d enjoy.

          Roman + Tisch (table) = Romantisch (romantic)

            I got the Roman-Romantic pun without translation, but clarifying that ‘tisch’ = ‘table’ brings it to a whole new level, I love it

              Currently they are hooked on puns, but normally memes and frog memes on Wednesdays.

              The sub is just the german version of me_irl
