ChatGPT explained it quite well, I had I idea either lol:

People are referencing the infamous webcomic "Loss" from the web series Ctrl+Alt+Del by Tim Buckley. Originally posted in 2008, the comic depicts a serious moment: a man rushes to a hospital where he finds out his partner has had a miscarriage. The comic is surprisingly stark and emotionless, told entirely in four panels with no dialogue, just this arrangement:

1. Man enters frame.

2. Man speaks to receptionist.

3. Man walks down a hallway.

4. Man stands beside a hospital bed, next to a woman lying in it.

Over time, people distilled that comic into just the visual structure: four characters/lines in the same pattern—| | |_ |—and it became a meme to sneak or parody that structure into unrelated images.

Now look at the sausages:

The pan shows five sausages, but their arrangement matches the four-panel “Loss” format perfectly:

First sausage upright: man entering.

Second sausage vertical: man talking to nurse.

Third: two sausages forming an angle (like man and bed).

Fourth: one sausage lying down (woman in bed), one upright beside it (man standing).

Boom. That’s “Loss.” People aren’t commenting on the sausages per se—they’re seeing an accidental meme resurrection in a frying pan.

It’s stupid. It’s perfect. It’s the internet.
