Black holes are notorious for 'spaghettification'. Near a stellar mass black hole tidal forces can be enormous, enough to rip you or me apart but I don't know about your constituent atoms.
A supermassive black hole however has extremely low tidal forces. You could fall right into one without feeling much of a tug across your body at all.
Now once you're inside a black hole you'll experience much larger forces as you approach the centre, but once you're inside you're a goner anyway.
You shouldn't be too quick to assume that being in the vicinity of a black hole will have you turned into a stream of subatomic particles, anyway.

Your right that it does depend on relative size. One would have to assume that eventually everything would be spaghettified right down gluons as you approach the singularity.

The infinitely dense singularity is the natural mathematical outcome of GR. But we already know that GR is an idealization. Perhaps a more accurate representation of gravity, an expansion of GR in a way that GR was an expansion of Newtonian mechanics, might do away with the "troubling" infinities.

"they ejaculate matter like a porn star. "
This is the man to teach science to a new generation- You sir are the Carl Sagan of our time- i love it.
Be careful tho as creationists may hijack your use of language and describe the big bang as Gods ejaculation  |
