    Hmm. You know, thinking about it, unless the black hole has no accretion disk that would vaporize the planet, this is a possible analogy of what would occur as the planet got close.

    Everything on the planet is bound by gravity and the system field strength would change on approach. This would mean that the escape velocity of gasses would drop until their escape vectors point towards the planet and get pulled towards the black hole.

    Essentially it strips the planet before eating it.

    This can happen with much smaller heavy objects too if it’s close enough. We see it all the time in binary star systems. A denser massive star will pull the larger star’s gasses in, and while stripping the star it can get too dense and it explodes in a super Nova.

    Probably like me if I ever date again

      That stripping apart is called the Roche limit, when the strength of gravity pulling things away from the planet matches the strength of gravity pullings things towards the planet.

          That’s my downfall. I don’t remember the names of anything, just what they do.

          So are your dates in your contacts under things like ‘fuck’ and 'disappointed’?

            Yes, but I’ve dated one person, married her, had a kid with her, she cheated on me, so we divorced.

            1. It was “kissed me”, “fucked me”, “married me”, “baby mama”, “cheater”, “lying whore cheater”, “gold digger”, “lawyer dropped her”, “lmfao”, and “oh well”.

            2. When I started calling her by the name other people mostly use she said it was “uncomfortable, she’d rather I didn’t.” I did anyway.

            Only one of those two statements above is true, Use whichever one brings you more joy.

    Black holes eat planets incidentally. They’ll gladly eat stars and whatever accretion that orbits a star, including its planets. Granted, it’ll miss some, and leave a bunch of rogues in its wake.

    And yes, all the bits are consumed individually, so poor Earth would get her atmosphere and oceans stripped away before the mantle, crust and core. And that’s assuming earth doesn’t get buzz-sawed by the black hole’s inner accretion disc slicing at near-C speeds.

    For most intents, the Black Hole is more nails than booba.
