An alien from a distant planet has decided to take a vacation to Earth. It's not too sure how exactly things work, so it's up to you to explain the who, what, where, when, and why of various things to it. One user will say something to be described, then the next will describe it. After that, they'll ask for something else to be explained, and so on. Example:

User 1: Explain underpants
User 2: They're like a miniature version of pants that we wear under our other pants. Explain spicy food.
Etc.

For bonus points, try to make the thing sound as weird and illogical as possible when you explain it.

Here we go!
