⚠️ Warning: contains irony

# We know nothing. But we ask everything.

Les Petits Complotistes is the art of asking awkward, absurd or mysterious questions, without ever claiming to have the answer.

## Why does this exist?

It all started when we realised we were spending too much time watching cat videos... and documentaries about pyramids at 3 a.m.

We wanted to create a space where you can:

- Ask (really) naive questions.
- Laugh a little (a lot) at our own doubts.
- Build critical thinking without taking ourselves seriously.

Spoiler Alert

"We still haven't found the aliens."

(But we found some incredible cookie recipes, so that's something.)

## Our promise (more or less)

We don't know. But we love to ask.

### Chronic Curiosity

We dig everywhere. Even where it says "Do not enter". Especially there, actually.

### Humour (Attempted)

Because conspiracies are often scary. So we might as well have a good laugh.

### Critical Thinking

Asking questions is good. Checking whether the Earth is flat with a ruler is better.

## The investigation team (very serious)

### Nino

Naive amplifier

Enthusiastic, sincere. Asks 'simple' but spot-on questions. He keeps the sense of wonder.

"What if the Moon was just a big cheese?"

### Max

Engine of doubt

Suspicious of adults and official narratives. Intuitive but structured reasoning. Dares to doubt when no one else does.

"Source: did you see that on TikTok?"

### Milo

Disillusioned counterweight

A tired, ironic, quiet teenager. He sees clearly when the others get carried away. Doesn't really believe in anything anymore.

"..."

## How does it work?

1

#### The Question

We start with something weird. Example: why do pigeons judge us?

2

#### The Investigation

We dig. We read serious stuff. And less serious stuff.

3

#### The Twist

We realise the answer is often simpler (or crazier) than expected.

4

#### Over to you

We let you make up your own mind. We're not your teachers.

🛸

### Concrete Example

"They say the pyramids are power plants."

Reality: It's mostly a lot of very heavy rocks. But it's still super classy.

Flagship project

### Complodex

The conspiracy collection app. Daily booster, community votes, verdicts from the trio. Out now on Google Play and the App Store.

### The Video Format

- Shorts (for those in a hurry)
- Episodes (for the curious)
- Dynamic edits

Idea

### The Video Game

An absurd point & click where you lead the investigation. A community-driven idea, with no date.

📖 Idea

### The Comic

The trio on paper. If enough of you follow us, we'll make it.

## What we love (and what we avoid)

### We love

- ✅ Kind critical thinking
- ✅ Terrible jokes
- ✅ Constructive doubt

### We avoid

- ❌ Mean mockery
- ❌ Claiming false things
- ❌ Boring politics

## FAQ

#### Are you reptilians?

We can neither confirm nor deny this information. (But my skin is very soft.)

#### Why yellow?

Because it's the colour of safety vests. And we want you to be intellectually safe.

#### Is it serious or not?

It's seriously funny. Or funnily serious. Depends on the day.

## Shall we chat?

Got a crazy theory? A stupid question (we love those)? Or just want to say hi?
