voices are swapped...and nobody noticed...?

It's unusual how nobody notices that Dipper and Mabel's voices are swapped. It's unclear whether the characters hear the voices the audience hears or the voices associated with that character. What I would've done if I were a writer is have the carpet swap people's voices temporarily (to account for the scene at the end of the episode), and then swap the voices back to the correct bodies after a minute (to account for the plot of the episode, where Dipper and Mabel try to dock each other's points.)

Atoms can swap electrons...

Dipper is shown to be intelligent, and this is another example right here.

Nobody thinks it's cute when  I lie naked on the living room floor.

...Soos lies naked on the living room floor...?

The cover of the book that Stan reads to "Dipper": Why am I sweaty?

Your body explained in horrifyingly uncomfortable detail

A cryptogram in the book: Puberty is the greatest mystery of all also: go outside and make friends.

Don't eat me! I'm a man trapped in a pig's body! / That's what they all say!

McGucket is insane. Let's just leave it at that.

A bearded witch  chasin' a talkin' pig!

Deputy Durland thinks Old Man McGucket is a witch. It's also interesting how Blubs just blows it off, even though it's a Gravity Falls anomaly.

Basically, I have to dock your pay. / Soos, because you work for free...

How can Stan dock Soos's pay if he works for free? That doesn't make any sense. Unless, as stated before, he only worked the party for free.

eye on the makeup kit

Yet another reference to Bill Cipher before he even appears.

Candy decides to switch bodies with Dipper

Candy could be wanting to get up close and personal with Dipper, especially if one believes the theory that she has a crush on him.

Stan gets rid of the carpet

Stan takes the electron carpet out of the new room for Dipper, and is not seen again for the rest of the episode. (Though, he is heard outside.) Which leads me to wonder: did Stan actually  get rid of the carpet? Or did he simply take it to a secret room in the Shack (his lab, perhaps?)

Ahh! Why am I even out here at night? / To get rid of the carpet, maybe? Or because his lair leads outside?

But who stole the capers?
