Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 12th December 2025.

12th December, 2025.

I think I can safely say ChatGPT can’t spell!

I put what I was going to use as today’s thumbnail through ChatGPT, and asked it to add a submarine called Boaty McBoatface.

And?

Got a ship called ‘Boaty McDDatface’.

Technology’s amazing.

At least it will be … when it learns how to spell … 

~≈⚓️≈~

It’s officially official: I’ve got reviews finished!

Or, at least, I’ve published my written review of “Plastic Apocalypse” done.

Along side the video version.

Here’s hoping they do well … !
