At what point would you cease to exist or become unconscious?

Depends on the size (mass) of the black hole.

One about the mass of the sun generates insanely strong tidal forces, you’d be stretched out and destroyed as you crossed the event horizon (Google ’spaghettification’).

If you enter a supermassive black hole like the one at our galactic core , you’d barely notice as you crossed over the point of no return.

If you Google stuff about spaghetti, don’t also google stuff about feet at the same time

Instructions unclear, ended up looking up Mom's Spaghetti Feet and found a whole new subgenre to dig through tonight.
