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

[-] Forester@pawb.social 38 points 10 months ago

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

[-] chase_what_matters@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Forester@pawb.social 20 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months 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 10 months 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.

[-] MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.website 8 points 10 months ago

Top six gang 💪

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

We are many ❤️

[-] kryptonidas@lemmings.world 2 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

This is you:

All I see is Direct Action

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

These are called desire paths.

[-] peter@mastodon.green 24 points 10 months ago

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

[-] moopet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I know, just fulfilling other's wishes.

[-] rhythmisaprancer@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 10 months ago

Maybe folks just want another bench and bin!

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago
[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 49 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

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

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I bet you just say your own name.

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