It depend upon which direction you go. At first it would be closer to the night sky you see along the equator where there’s no ambient city lights. But as you leave the Milky Way and travel towards Andromeda, you’d spend 2.5M years seeing little change, no stars, just dim galaxies. Yawn! 🥱 (because while you may live forever you still won’t travel faster than light)

If you head towards the center of the Milky Way, after about a hundred thousand years, you’ll approach the center and it will definitely be more populous and brighter and beautiful. But heaven forbid you should run into our supermassive black hole there, for you’ll live “forever” with nowhere to go!!! 🥱

No way! A black hole would be exciting for someone who couldn't die, one way or another. It may not be pleasant, but there's no way the spaghettification and the time dilation could work out to be boring, could there?

U ever go to Disneyworld or amusement park on a crowded day and the line takes two hours? Then you ride for 3 minutes?

You spend nearly a hundred thousand years to reach the black hole only to be spaghettified and gobbled up in a fraction of a second. Then hang in that state for all eternity. And this sounds like fun?

Sounds to me like one of the seven circles of hell. 🍻

Nowhere did I use the word "fun". I'd have to imagine being inside the black hole would be anything but fun. Definitely not boring, though.
