I'm here to ruin the joke: both the Russian and German word for "Emperor" are "named after" Caesar (Czar and Kaiser).

[–] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the salad after Caesar Cardini (Italian immigrant running a restaurant in Tijuana in 1924).

Who was named after Gaius Julius Caesar in one way or another, though.

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

Technically Sextus, no?

[–] Iceman@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Sextus? You barely know us.

Wait until you learn about where the name of the month of July came from.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Or August.

[–] witty_username@feddit.nl 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Or Saladuary

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's not named after Julius Cesar, though.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, but after his adopted son

[–] trollercoaster@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Who coincidentally liked to call himself "Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus" later in his life.

[–] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Subtility didn't run deep in this family.

[–] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

"Subtlety is my middle name. And also my first and last name in case they miss the point.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your spelling of Cesar betrays french autocorrect, yet your name German/Alpine. So I'm guessing Swiss?

Poepleguessr

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

Julie Andrews, close though

[–] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

Caesar Cardini rolls in his grave again

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

He recently had ball bearings installed. So much smoother now!

[–] BatrickPateman@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

With the capitalisation as it is it sounds like Gardening Fürst Pückler was an expert on modern landscape, and I respect that 🤗.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And a cheap pizza chain!

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How about a calendar?

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

And a code cipher

[–] kraftpudding@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

[–] ocean@lemmy.selfhostcat.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

[–] youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago
