Easy. If earth did not have an anti moon made from dark matter, the unilateral pull of the rotating moon would let the earth-moon system go out of whack and spiral out of solar orbit. The invisible dark matter moon is pulling up the water on the other side.https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins/status/1195652608653975552 …

This answer is ... wrong. The moon pulls the same on water and earth (differences are really! neglectable). The answer is indeed more complicated.

Ok Dawnkins, Josha, Steini in one direct (time)line. Twitter apparently is overcopmpensating today

The tangential build up of very small (~10^-7 g) forces towards the earth-moon line is what really makes it work (lakes are too small to have such a build up, so don't have tides):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwChk4S99i4 …
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

What about the fact that the moon and earth are rotating around a point that is not in the exact center of the earth? Or is that just another way to explain the bulge on the opposite side of earth where the moon is?

No, centrifugal force is not causing tides
