But every so often, a search query surfaces from the depths of internet culture that stops you cold. One such phrase has been gaining quiet, bizarre traction over the last few years:

The sausage represents the fragility of data. We assume that because something is stored on a server, it is safe. But files are only useful if their relationships to reality (titles, authors, covers) remain intact. The sausage is the digital equivalent of a filing cabinet where every label has turned into a squiggly line.

Officially? Absolutely not.
