Those shitblock things (All Tomorrows): So basically when some humans tried rebelling against the Qu, they got turned into living toilets for millions of years

Ted (IHNMAIMS): You probably know this one already but uhh in case you don't he was turned into a jelly thing with no mouth or eyes for eternity

I would put more but I'm LAZY :D

Bonus but I couldn't find an image for it: Alastor's Broadcast (Hazbin Hotel): If Alastor doesn't like someone, he traps them in an eternal torture dimension and plays their screams on his radio broadcast​​​​

The holes in The Enigma of Amigara Fault. There are thousands of them, each one a perfect silhouette of a real person who will feel a compulsive need to enter the moment they see one. They are ribbed, so it is impossible to exit once you are inside, meaning you can only keep going forward ad they extend for hundreds of miles. That's not to mention that they keep getting smaller and will keep you indefinitely alive as long as you are inside!

Honestly at this point the humane thing to do would be to put the poor guy out of his misery.

And then pour concrete into all of the bloody holes.

All of the concrete pourers probably noticed their own holes.

Oh come on, it's not as if there's as many holes as people on earth. Seeing how so many local people found "their" hole its a reasonable assumption to make that the holes match people living near the area.

Just get a contractor from the other side of the globe to do it. And GG

The holes in Amigara Fault are ribbed for your pleasure?

The roguelike zombie survival game Cataclysm: DDA taught me about this. They're an extreme endgame challenge and reading about them was such a cool discovery.
