I have a hobby of doing the opposite: making undesirepaths.
During large snowfalls, I often need to bring out the shovel and make a path, both from my house and in front of it towards the main road. I like to add turns and bends, just enough to confuse and lightly annoy, but not enough for people to consider stepping into deep snow or making their own path.
Psychopath.
Nah
My gosh this is such a funny premise.
This is the way TikToker shows how he keeps people from walking across his lawn
University of Maryland did this with their walkways for a while. They let the kids beat down paths for the year to make the sidewalks.
Makes heaps of sense, when you can. Still need something for people in wheelchairs and stuff early on though.
I’ve often thought painting lines across paths and then observing the paint wear off could tell you a lot about which paths could be removed, or where corners could be rounded off better.
They had regular sidewalks that the campus planners made. But they took a year to see what the students walking paths looked like.
I especially like when people do this in the snow and make big holes that I can easily step into
That hedge could actually be a gods windbreak behind the bench
Apparently when they were building the death star, they couldn’t figure out where to put the vents, so they just turned off the gravity and threw a bunch of womp rats in the center and built out pipes along the vectors of where they died.
Those fuckers. Maybe instead of the bush fence, it should have been a wrought iron fence. With spikes on top.
Electrified.
With auto targeting tranquilizer dart firing turrets, of course.
You don’t want turrets when you can send out the flamethrower drones once the proximity sensors are triggered.
No way there is no desire path Delta at the end of the main path where it officially meets the pavement.
In my junior high days (mid 80s) My friends and I found a machete in one of their dad’s stuff. We spent a weekend bushwhacking paths around some city-owned but undeveloped land near a lake. We ended up wearing them down pretty good into bike paths with some jumps and cool whoops. A few years later, the city turned it into a park and paved our paths.
desiremachete pathsThank you for your service 🫡
(like unironically. that rules)Fuck yeah, awesome :)
These are called desire paths.
Hence the cross post to [email protected] :)
I saw that, hence where I got the very idea!
Hence!
Hitherto!
Elephant paths in my country.
Goat paths here
For the life of me, I can’t figure out what changes between panel 10 and 11.
I figured that was just the pause before the punchline. Like, the city almost got it, but they still fucked it up a bit.
Faint path from frame 12 if you push your nose to the screen glass.
You can’t really see it that way, it’s better push it against your tongue and taste the difference
Are you a snake? Or some kind of cold blooded reptile?
You sound just like my ex-wife
Zoom in. The path is starting to show.
Correct. Couldn’t see it at first. Just thought it was a pause for dramatic effect. Felt fine as a clone.
Me neither. I had to look very close. First I noticed some of the little dots representing grass were a little faded.
In the original post it is more clear: https://bsky.app/profile/chazhutton.bsky.social/post/3lfsi75inbc27
Apart from the path that is added, the shadow on the trashcan gets darker and wider, the bushes are more “noisy” and the parts that were already drawn in panel 1 have shifted down by halve a pixel.
I’ve heard a story about a college campus that didn’t install any paths, waited for natural dirt paths to form in the grass, then installed paths there. Neat idea.
Makes sense for a college campus where everyone has a different schedule. Just draw a line between every building and there’s your pathways.
And then some people just like walking in grass instead of cement
I think that would be UC berkley
I heard the same story, but for a Disneyland.
I heard that’s what they did for your mom’s house.
Whole front yard is BRICK
nah it’s just a three-dude-wide strip between the bus stop and the bedroom
Image where the bush fence appears, there should be a faint path near the road, those who don’t want to hop over/wreck the bush but it should be gone once the path through the bush is open.
Ah the ol’ desire path strikes again!
I enjoy the Desire Paths community here on Lemmy. It’s so interesting to see what paths people take contrary to what paths are laid out for them.

I created a desire path by biking to school every day in high school. After I left a sidewalk popped up covering it inch for inch. Mission accomplished
I didn’t know I needed this in my life but this strikes a chord in me
