    probably depends on how big it is right? Smaller ones would just rip you up with tidal forces instantly, supermassive ones maybe you survive long enough to witness the end of the universe

    turns out i was wrong, i didnt take into account the doppler effect and abberation of light.

      In regards to the smaller ones ripping you apart before you even cross the horizon, it has to do with the actual distance away from the singularity itself.

      Supermassive black holes will give you a pretty lengthy amount of time to make peace with yourself once you cross the horizon. Stellar mass black holes, not so much.

      Regardless of the mass, you will undergo spaghettification at roughly the same place, based on the proximity to the singularity.
