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.

Hey PugJesus do you speak German by chance?

Afraid not! I'm a monoglot. English is my only language.

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

At age 30 I had my own car and multiple PCs. Eat shit, Julius!

Me, age 30, looking at the biography of genius game designers like Eric Chahi.
