I love that the last frame suggests it may never end.

[-] Forester@pawb.social 39 points 1 year ago

It suggests that whoever keeps trying to force for the pathing is an idiot

[-] chase_what_matters@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

But even when they caved and paved the desire path (good), a new desire path was created.

[-] Forester@pawb.social 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Look at the original desire path it goes to the corner the paved path is offset 30 degrees because people want to access the crosswalk not the sidewalk then the crosswalk

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Whoever was trying to force it was an idiot, and people are savages.

(Although I actually question if it would end this way)

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 12 points 1 year ago

It suggests that they put it too far to the left.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago

it shows that people tend to make things too straight and geometric, when they should instead be curvy and organic.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but if you make things too curvy they no longer fit together well. And can be hard to build depending on the construction methods used.

Any medieval city builder that has transport networks I usually have my central hubs looking like I modeled them after a methed up Spidermans jizz after giving webslinging from his dick a try.

It starts just like this comic tho

i need at least two more comments from lost lemmings pointing out that these are, in fact, called “desire paths”

[-] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 year ago

These are, in fact, called 'lust lanes'.

my dear great grandmother isabella, god rest her soul, would always call them “cum corridors”

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 12 points 1 year ago

There's a community called desire paths on lemmy you know /s

[-] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I am a lemmy user who knows exactly where I am, but I also want to say "desire paths"

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

desire paths

This is why I my default feed is Everything top six hour. I'm now a member of a community celebrating something I didn't even know I loved until I saw it.

Top six gang 💪

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

We are many ❤️

[-] kryptonidas@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year ago

I sometimes wish there was a top three hours too. Now I have to juggle between 1 and 6.

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee -2 points 1 year ago

All I see is Direct Action

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago

these are called "jesus fuck i have to walk 800m to reach a place that is 400m from my house, i'll be fucked if i'm following the footways and making that 900m"

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

These are called desire paths.

[-] peter@mastodon.green 24 points 1 year ago

which is also the name of the comunity to which it was posted 🎉

[-] moopet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

Some people choose to look at the comments rather than the official look-at-the-community route.

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I know, just fulfilling other's wishes.

Maybe folks just want another bench and bin!

[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 49 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure the members of a community called desire paths know that these are called desire paths

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

This is just like saying someone's name to them during sex.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

That's why I always say someone else's name. Keeps things spicy.

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I bet you just say your own name.

Slowly, pronouncing every syllable like it is Skyrim and you are executing a shout.

Desire paths Desire paths can be paths created as a consequence of erosion caused by human or animal foot-fall or traffic. The paths usually represent the shortest or most easily navigated routes between origins and destinations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path
