    This sounds like how you get a resonance cascade… Experiments so powerful they make the sky glow as only our star can!

    I know they make it sound all scientific, but here is the 18+ ELI5:

    They’re going to make a porno by buttfucking the ionosphere with lots of electric buttplugs to make it glow all happy and shit.

    Then a bunch of science pervs are going to study that porno, to learn how nature can make the ionosphere glow happy and shit, without the use of toys.

    It’s called science, bitch.

    Edit: lots of prudes and luddites. My ELI5 is actually pretty spot on, well, at least if you actually read the HAARP study methods and objectives, and understand what a joke is.

        This article was posted by a bot account, and apparently a lot of people came here just to downvote the only comment and leave no comments of their own.

        Odd behavior. Reminds me of bot filled Reddit subs.

          The only comment is a really crappy comment. I can’t downvote, but I would if I could.

          The comment got downvoted simply because it isn’t funny.

          All they did was write things about butt stuff in a context that didn’t call for it.

          It’s just crass and unimaginative.
