dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Honestly I'd kind of assumed it's arid just because of where it's located, but y'know, I'm not an official of a country at war with them. In no way did I realise it extended far enough north to be partly outside the arid band north of the equator.

80% of Iran is arid or semi-arid in the koppen system, but because of their latitude and mountain ranges they do have a pretty unique weather system consisting of hot arid deserts sitting right next to cold arid deserts. Near the coastlines though it becomes humid subtropical. Iran has a very neat climate I've always liked researching
