Flerfs, or flat earthers, are people in modern times who believe the Earth is flat.

"Flerfs" are distinct from historical flat earthers, because flerfs are adherents of Rowbothamism — a distinction which is neglected in this description on Wikipedia:

Flat Earth is an archaic and scientifically disproven conception of the Earth's shape as a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures subscribed to a flat-Earth cosmography, notably including ancient near eastern cosmology. The model has undergone a recent resurgence as a conspiracy theory.

In reality, the Rowbothamist model is radically incompatible with ancient cosmologies due its denial of sunset. Socially, it's also a dangerous cult that ingests, distills, and breeds dishonesty, mental illness, and bad faith tactics.
