Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Was that a cult?

You decide. The followers all worked on the farm, wore very simple clothes, got rid of all their worldly possessions. The Bagwan was driven around in a Rolls Royce, lived separately from the commune. He also didn't pay taxes and the government thought he owed them millions.

I think there's a documentary on line somewhere now.
