Curious Question for AI Artist

I've been apart of this site since June and have witnessed many wonderful and imaginative pieces of art the people have done here.

There are a few things that I see often that I don't quite understand, however. Maybe someone can fill me in.

I've seen quite a bit of obsession with creating things involving noodles (especially spaghetti). It's got me pretty puzzled on why this is. Is it something I'm not seeing or some inside joke between artists?

This is genuine curiosity as I haven't been in the AI scene long.
