Sanrio, the Japanese company behind Hello Kitty, has revealed that, despite looking like a cat, the global icon of cute is actually a female person called Kitty White.
But the news did not go down well with one furious fan known only as Liu.
It appears the youngster had her hopes and dreams dashed when she was told the news.

The youngster chose to vent her frustrations in a hilarious YouTube video uploaded by her mother.
Clearly distressed and with tears in her eyes, she said, “I hate it — She looks like a cat. She cannot be a human. She is a cat that acts like a human, like in cartoons.”
The clip was posted on YouTube by user Wizardofrum, who wrote, “My daughter didn’t appreciate the truth about Hello Kitty. I didn’t know she wasn’t a cat either. Poor girl.”
However, at the very end of the video the girl realizes she may have gone too far in her criticism and warns her mum not to post the clip on Facebook.
Unfortunately for her, her mother chose to post it on YouTube instead.

創造凱蒂貓的日本公司三麗鷗揭露，儘管凱蒂貓看來像貓，但這個全球可愛偶像其實是位女性，名叫凱蒂‧懷特。
但是一名姓劉的憤怒凱蒂貓迷不太能接受這個消息。
顯然這名小女孩得知此事時，她的希望和夢幻破滅了。
在一段由她媽媽上傳至YouTube的詼諧影片中，這名小女孩決定宣洩她的失望情緒。
她顯然很傷心，眼中含著淚水說：「我討厭這個消息。她看起來就是貓，她不會是人，她是像在卡通片裡那樣，是舉動像人的貓。」
這段影片被名為Wizardofrum的網友上傳到YouTube，並寫道：「我女兒不喜歡關於凱蒂貓的真相。我之前也不知道她不是貓，可憐的孩子。」
然而，在這段影片的最後，這名女孩知道也許她批評得太過火了，警告她媽媽不要將這段影片放上臉書。
對她來說很遺憾的是，她媽媽選擇上傳到YouTube。

The US-Israeli war with Iran, which began on Feb. 28, has killed thousands of people, destabilized the Middle East and rocked global energy markets by effectively closing the strait. WHAT IS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ? Lying between Oman and Iran and linking the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond, the strait is 33km wide at its narrowest point, with a shipping lane just 3km wide in either direction. Perhaps the world’s most important energy shipping channel, the waterway is about 167km long. Following through on an old threat, Tehran effectively closed the strait

Have you ever found yourself desperately feeding coins into a claw machine just because you’ve already spent so much trying to win that stuffed animal? Or maybe you’ve continued watching a boring movie simply because you already paid for the ticket? If so, you’ve experienced the “sunk cost fallacy.” A sunk cost refers to time, money or effort that has already been spent and cannot be recovered. This psychological trap is surprisingly common. You might keep playing a video game you no longer enjoy because you’ve invested countless hours in building your character, or maintain a toxic friendship because you’ve known
When you twist open a bottle of carbonated water, bubbles rush out with a hissing sound. This drink is simply water infused with carbon dioxide (CO2) under pressure, giving it that fizz on your tongue. But this basic description barely scratches the surface of the carbonated water family. Although all carbonated waters are bubbly, slight differences set them apart. Seltzer is just plain water with artificial CO2—no minerals, no extras. Club soda includes added minerals such as sodium bicarbonate, which creates a slightly salty flavor. This makes club soda suitable for mixing with fruit juices. Sparkling water, on the
