The first phrase, "sand sculpture" or 沙雕 is a homophone (similar pronunciation, different meaning) for 傻屌 (literally means stupid dick), but just like how "fuck" is censored/filtered, people use homophones to evade such censors. By the way, "沙雕" is interpreted as "sand eagle" (one might even say desert eagle) rather than "sand sculpture" when using it to call others stupid.
As for the other two, I'm not quite sure what you're looking at.
I was translating comments on bilibili, I think "wife" could refer to the creator of the video? At least thats that I got from the context. Could "沙雕" be translated as a shitpost?

Not necessarily shitpost, just something idiotic in general. Chinese slangs are certainly hard to wrap your head around because sometimes the play on words can be phonetic and sometimes just the shape of the characters, etc.
