We would be like stuck there forever

As the Earth gets closer and closer, the near part of Earth gets attracted a lot more than the back part of Earth. This difference in the pull is flet by Earth as a tension pulling it apart. The difference in gravity, over a distance, is called the gravitational gradient. As ANY object gets closer and closer, it eventually gets pulled apart by the strength of the gradient. Even atoms. This is why we can observe X-rays being emitted from around a black hole: they are not emitted by the black hole itself, they come from atoms being torn apart as they get closer and closer. So, Earth would feel severe tidal effect (the effect from the gravitational gradient) and its rotation would slow down at an ever increasing rate (presently, the combined gradients from the Moon and the Sun slow us down by one second every 40,000 years). Just like a brake in a car releases heat, that braking would release enough heat to bake us. Then pieces of Earth start flying apart when it reaches the Roche limit (from a mathematician called Mr. Roche) where Earth's own gravity cannot keep it together against the tension of the gravitational gradient. Then big chunks get torn into smaller chunks, even smaller chunks (this would apply to any human bodies left) and eventually down to individual molecules. Then the molecules get torn apart, then the atoms... .

the planet would be ripped apart and shredded well before it ever got into the black hole. There is some dependence on the size (mass) of the black hole, of course, as to what precisely would happen and how quickly or how close the hole and earth would need to get before tidal forces ripped the planet apart, but that is what would happen eventually. Lesson is: stay away from black holes.

Everything, including every living thing, is crushed donn to subatomic particles.

Who knows. Nothing, not even a planet has come back out of a black hole to tell us about it. Peace.

Nobody knows as nobody ever gone into a blackhole for obvious reasons.

Long before it reached the event horizon, tidal forces would tear the earth apart. As the pieces got closer, they would be torn apart. Even atoms are ripped into elementary particles. These fall into the singularity at the center. No one knows what happens after that.

If a black hole were to come close enough, Earth would be broken up long before it's debris was to pulled in. It would form an accretion disk around the black hole, as debris was slowly pulled in.

the Earth would be ripped to shreds down to its subatomic components and smeared over the surface of the black hole

Black holes DO NOT "suck" They are NOT cosmic vacuum cleaners... Earth would get ripped apart by the gravitational stresses and strains and so would everything on earth and become part of the accretion disk AROUND the event horizon of the black hole and get spaghettified as it went through the event horizon. .. is what would happen.. Black holes DO NOT "suck."
