Well, if the world keeps electing far right nut job leaders, things like this will all likely improve, yes.... Yes?

Is this a concern for the Olympics, or the environment (with a spotlight brought on it due to the Olympics)? Hopefully something is done to correct this for the long term.

It's because of the historical sewage system, which will still occiassionally bleed sewage into the River Seine.
Hoog made a great video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S26CHpcD2zk

Do they have a backup river? Or can they just go up stream past where the poo is discharged?

They don't have a backup.

I guess you'd have to be insane to swim in it.

Almost makes you wonder if that's what the elections are for.

They have elections to decide who's going to shit in the Seine?

Contravariant , vor 6 Tagen

No that's all of Paris, that part is fixed.

The president promised to swim in it though, and a bad election result might just give him an excuse to 'step back'.

Fantastic pun

Would be better if it was actually pronounced that way. It sounds more like Sin.

bjoern_tantau , vor 7 Tagen

No it doesn't.

shasta , vor 7 Tagen

It does in French

It's pronounced [sϵn]
The ϵ sound exists in English, like the "ea" in " death" or the first "e" in "letter".

yuri , vor 6 Tagen

So just send without the d?

loaExMachina , vor 6 Tagen

Yes !

shasta , vor 6 Tagen

sin, sen, close enough. my point was that it does not sound like "sane" which is what the joke implied and is wrong.

bjoern_tantau , vor 6 Tagen

No it doesn't.
