In summary, a group of individuals are discussing a new forum and its purpose of asking and answering "stupid questions." They discuss topics such as how long it takes to reach 1000 posts, the existence of the old forums, the best superpower, an elevator that goes sideways, and the reasons behind posting in this forum. They also explore the question of why they ask questions and the possible theories that have not been invented. Eventually, the conversation turns to the expansion of the universe and the orbit of planets around stars.

Why would something used for getting high get my car to such high speeds?

Well to get high you need fumes. These smell of bananas and most cars like oranges. Therefore they work fast to get away from the fumes and so work harder and drive the car faster. The accelerator actually controls the concentration of banana fumes.franznietzsche said:

The monkeys have taken to smoking bananas and the parrots get addicted to second-hand banana fumes.
The sloths, on the other hand, don't seem to have the same problem. Why not?

Sloths are violently allergic to bananas, so instead of enjoying the aroma of smoked banana, they swell up and die.

Yes, they just can't move them.
Can you move your toes one by one, all of them?

You'll probably gush, "Oh, goody, another one this weeK!" and put it in your collection - which is now 4,531 strong - all lined up around the top of your roof (and the adjacent apartment roofs, as well), and when the number reaches 5,000 - which should happen sometime before the end of the year - you plan to kick the first one in this enormously intricate row of disks you've created and that will send the rest into a snaking, domino-like fall, which, when flat on the roof, will create a reflection - because of the low location of the sun at this time - that will knock out all communication satelites currently circling this side of the planet.
Is it roofs or rooves?
