Welcome to another 7 STEM links on a Sunday. This polar bear looks friendly. What makes bears so cute and cuddly when, in reality, they would eat us for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Also, fairy tales could be older than we expect, millennia old not centuries old. And if you’re wondering what it might be like to fall into a black hole, there’s a link for you to find out. Plus information about the build out of the US electric vehicle charging network, a Roblox community revolt, and an argument to rewild the internet to make it less commercial and bland. Thank you for reading! Do watch out for cute bears…
