Can $\mathsf{Set}$ be seen as a (non-trivial) 2-category?

There is a (not very interesting) construction which works for every category $\mathcal{C}$: Take any commutative monoid $M$. For parallel morphisms $f,g$ we define a $2$-morphism $f \to g$ to be some …

A more simple question would be (and this is the special case $\mathbf{C}=1$): When are two functors $F,G : \mathcal{C} \to \mathcal{D}$ between $1$-categories $\mathcal{C},\mathcal{D}$ equal? Since w …
