Reply to TIL about Saint-Malo, Brittany. This city on the French coast has some of the highest tides in Europe, rising as high as 40 feet during parts of the year, and the water withdrawing hundreds of yards. A sea wall, built in the 17th century, protects the city from the tides. by marmorset

Tom Scott did a recent video where he talks about the geography of places with usually high tides: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCrTsWtPVIY (go to 1:18 for the high tides bit)

Reply to TIL that only Nintendo's founder knows what their name means. by johnmyster

I misread the title to mean its a secret given to the president: it's more that the guy who originally named it never told anyone. Probably means nothing.
