Flerfer

1. A moron.
2. A person who--through deliberate or accidental idiocy, or wilful indoctrination by browsing conspiracy websites--believes the Earth to be flat.
3. A person who categorically rejects all rational science.

Andy, upon hearing us discuss the upcoming Artemis mission, proceeded to launch into a tirade about NASA conspiracies, his belief the Apollo Moon Landings were faked, and that every picture taken from space was done via fisheye lenses, CGI, and wires. Andy, after exposing himself as a Flerfer, stormed off when he was reminded of all the everyday things in his life that were invented because Space Race. Which, to name a few were the WIFI and portable computer he used to look up the conspiracies, the insulation in his house, his water purifier, his insulin pump, the baby formula his son eats, the satellite TV he watches, and the GPS that helps him overcome his bad sense of direction.

Hypocrites

1. People or persons who mandate or expect a certain standard of behaviour while simultaneously not applying those standards to themselves.

2. People who criticize others for behaviour or beliefs that they already practice in private.

3. Fox News.

It was reported across multiple news networks today what their COVID-19 mitigation measures are within their studios. It was discovered that Fox News had long since mandated employees disclose their vaccination status, and that all off-camera employees are required to wear masks. This is despite the continuing anti-mask, anti-vaccine mandate calls and criticisms shared by their daytime and nightly talk show hosts. Individuals who have been openly contemptuous of mask mandates and hostile towards the accredited experts, while their news room reports the scientific facts as is, and their parent company requires them to abide the same practices. This was the latest example that exposes Fox News has being a den of hypocrites, who in this case have spread dangerous misinformation they don't believe in or practice.
