How is it that the moon can affect the 352 quintillion gallons of water in the ocean, but not affect us?

The moon depending on where it is at your time of day can affect whether or not there’s high or low tides. Basically moving all of the water in the ocean, at least that’s how I think. But how come it doesn’t make us feel lighter or heavier throughout the day? Or just seem to affect anything else

It does effect us, just very, very minorly. Gravity tends to be more noticeable on objects with a lot of mass. The ocean, being both very very massive along with fluidity, makes gravity very noticeable on it.

When the moon is directly above you as opposed to directly under, you will weigh a very very marginally lighter.
