This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The differential between high and low tides in Alaska is crazy to me. I'm used to only a few feet in the mid Atlantic.

From high tide this afternoon to the low tide going out right now, Juneau will have a 17 foot swing.

Canada apparently get the highest with 11.7 metres (38.4 feet) mean tidal range, which I found out by accident because I was actually looking up the range specifically for the UK out of curiosity, knowing it was high but not realising it would be on the top 3 list (E: with maximum range in the Bristol Channel being 15 metres (49 feet)! ) lol
