What is Black holes can be 'eaten' unevenly?

Black holes can be eaten unevenly when they swallow things that are not all the same size or speed.

Imagine a black hole is like a hungry kid who loves to eat candy. Most of the time, they get one piece at a time, maybe a small chocolate or a big gummy bear. But sometimes, they get a whole bag of candies all at once! That makes them feel very full and wobbly.

If a black hole swallows something really big and fast, like a star that crashes into it, the black hole gets very wobbly, kind of like if you took a big bite out of a cake while standing on a swing. This makes the black hole "shake" and send out some sparks in space.

But if it swallows smaller things slowly, it just keeps growing bigger and bigger, like eating one piece of candy after another without even noticing.

So, depending on what the black hole eats, it can grow smoothly or get all wobbly and sparky!
