A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Ew, corpse eating. When will people realise that these disgusting religious practices aren't okay to talk about in public? Nobody likes your corpse eating cult.
I'll bite (pun semi- intended) how is it religious?
There's no way a person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would eat corpses. Not unless they were in a situation of absolute desperation. A person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would determine killing is bad, and would just eat plants instead. Even if it cost an extra four dollars per grocery trip.
Corpse eating happens because of tradition and dogma. Because "that's the way we've always done things." We indoctrinate children into this blood cult and normalise violence the same way some religions normalise genital mutilation or ritual sacrifice of humans. Hells, the thanksgiving turkey, which is served in the literal shape of its corpse rather than being butchered or processed, is a ritual sacrifice.
A religion is not defined only by worship of gods, or else Buddhism would not be a religion. A religion can be defined by dogmatic, ritualised, inhumane practices taught to children from birth in the name of tradition. That's what carnism is. I've never seen a defence of carnism that didn't speak to some idea of "the natural order" or "tradition" or "the gods made them to be our food", or some other religious nonsense.
You don’t understand what science or scientific thinking is.
You're gonna tell me that "real" science is whatever aligns with your religion, aren't you?
I think you are, bro. http://soulism.net/
