Didn't even get him orange Julius?
It would go excellent with his salads he loves so much.
Better hope he doesn't ask where Fanta comes from
Fanta originated in Germany as a Coca-Cola alternative in 1941 due to the American trade embargo of Nazi Germany
What's Germany? What's America? What's Coca-Cola? What's an embargo? What's Naziism?
Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?
What’s Germany?
Well, that one he knows at least! He fought with the Germanic tribes, who he notes came from a land called Germania.
Germany old AF no cap fr fr.
Not really. The existence of a unified German nation-state is less than two centuries old. Sure, there was a place called "Germania" by the Romans but it was just a name for a place and the categorisation of all Germanic tribes as essentially one barbaric people was just racism on the part of the Romans.
Just like even though the word "America" is twice as old as the United States, and just because that label was adopted by that country doesn't mean the country is as old as the label.
He’d have a justified true belief, but no knowledge
Don’t go bringing that crackpot Edward Gettier into this. Caesar would know the Germans (those who hail from Germania) as a disorganized, unorganized group of tribes with a common heritage. That’s a justified true belief, or at least as justified and true as one could expect of him. His beliefs would not cover a unified German nation, at which point there can’t be a belief part of a JTB.
Charlemagne was older than that. The HRE was German by Roman standards.
The Holy Roman Empire was not a contemporary of Julius Caesar nor was it united. If your subdivisions are fighting wars with each other then I don't consider that a proper "country".
The Holy Roman Empire was not holy, nor was it Roman, nor was it an empire.

Personally, I'd love to learn enough of the latin he spoke to be able to present him with a bottle of Cesar salad dressing and then tell him how many millions of people think of it when they hear his name.
“It’s named after a guy from Mexico, but they put your face on the bottle”
An Italian guy who opened a restaurant in Mexico catering to Americans because the United States had banned alcohol.
You fool, now he will want more! And if you don't get him his sugary fix, it won't be a Fantastic day for you.
"Where's my Orange Julius"
DAMMIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMEONE ALREADY MADE THAT COMMENT
I'd give the ottoman empire (and by association the axis) modern weapons in WW1
Why on earth would you do that?
Too see what happens? If it ends up worse then I could always just go back and stop myself
It ends at the atom bomb that’s kinda a hard stopping point.
You mean the Central Powers.
For all we know, that may avert WWII. WWI was less of a clear cut good/evil fight.
Oh yh but this would be an interesting outcome without the Central powers losing the treaty of Versailles wouldn't have been signed that means Hitler wouldn't have as much support (the ottoman empire would up the same we were already dieing, bit this time entand won't be involved)
The Austro-Hungarian Empire would not have split and the US would never have gotten the postwar economic boost that made it a great power. The Cold War would have been tripolar, with Germany dominating Europe and probably the world.
The Ottomans would turn around and kick Austria's ass after they were done with Russia though. It'd end up being a more protracted affair when the Sublime Porte gets it's revenge.

If I ever successfully create a time machine, I'll put Wednesday before Thursday. Just for the luls
Turns out he’s allergic to oranges dies you take his place to preserve the time line but forgot he gets stabbed 23 times the next day.
oranges? in fanta?
unless you mean he's allergic to the colour orange
Get your hands on some german Fanta. It's the ~~good~~ slightly less shitty stuff.
The color difference alone says it all:
gross, fanta is supposed to be orange, not yellow. Who thought making a drink taste like a plant was a good idea, drinks are supposed to taste like chemicals and colors.
The one on the right looks similar to Orangina (available in the US).

Oh I’d just serve him a beverage consisting of vodka, tomato juice, clam juice, and hot sauce. After explaining the three ingredients he has no access to I’d tell him the name of the beverage before saying that he’ll kinda have it coming
I'd give the people of hispaniola a few modern guns and ammunition around 1491 as well as a description of christopher columbus, his ships, and weaponry with full detail of what will happen if a single spaniard escapes.
God dam!... I like you.

Give him one of these useful knife blocks:
Oh, I might have to get one of these.
That's the Asterix version of Caesar, specifically. Wonder if it's an official product, or fan made?
Who nose?

Render unto Caesar the Fanta that is Caesar’s.
Me with a time machine:
Imagine the Europeans met a significantly further developed native civilisation .. Like steam engine level. That would have been interesting.
Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson. Minus the Europeans, mind.
