Where does it go? what would happen? I think the universe would implode.

there's a black hole in every computer.

Just be careful not to delete to much at once otherwise it will gain enough mass to be self sustainable and start sucking everything up.

Why don't you try it???

I'm on a mac.. can't seem to remove the Trash from the dock..

It goes in a bigger trash bin, of course. Everyone knows that.

I'm on Linux, and I would just send my Trash icon to the Trash.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't realise how troll-like my last comment was. I intended it to say that Windows had made it "too" user-friendly by making it appear as a folder which encourages poor practices on the part of the user like using it as temporary storage.

Deleting the System32 folder is a lot more fun.

I'm afraid to try that out... I might not come back D:

No no. sudo rm -rf * is a lot more fun. Erase your entire system.

do you just try to bash windows every chance you get?

i hope you were joking

to answer your question: yes, your authorities can still find your deleted child porn.
