TL;DR Summary

Black holes are the remnants of dead stars with incredibly strong gravitational fields, causing a phenomenon called "spaghettification" where objects are stretched due to tidal forces. The likelihood of spaghettification depends on the mass and size of the black hole, as well as the distance from it. Smaller black holes pose a greater risk of spaghettification, while supermassive ones are less dangerous in this regard. Falling into any black hole is still fatal, but falling into a supermassive black hole would result in less noticeable effects compared to a smaller one.
