Into the trash it goes.

— This phrase is often used in memes featuring Penn Jillette, originating from a 4chan post in 2013 where a resume is dismissed.

People use this meme to humorously dismiss opinions they find ridiculous or unworthy. For example, someone might post a Jillette image with the caption, 'When someone says pineapple belongs on pizza: into the trash it goes.'

The meme originated on February 16, 2013, in the 4chan's /tv/ board when an anonymous user posted a greentext story featuring Penn Jillette throwing out a resume with cringeworthy hobbies. This sparked a wave of similar posts using Jillette's image to mock various opinions.

The meme quickly spread to other 4chan boards and eventually made its way to platforms like Twitter and Reddit, where it evolved into various formats. By 2014, it was a staple in meme culture, often used in discussions about pop culture and social issues.
