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

[-] Forester@pawb.social 36 points 11 months ago

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

[-] chase_what_matters@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Forester@pawb.social 19 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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)

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 11 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 11 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 32 points 11 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 11 months ago

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

[-] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 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 11 months ago

desire paths

[-] deacon@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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 11 months ago

Top six gang 💪

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

We are many ❤️

[-] kryptonidas@lemmings.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] menas@lemmy.wtf 17 points 11 months ago

All I see is Direct Action

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago
[-] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 48 points 11 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 27 points 11 months ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

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

[-] adam_y@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months 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

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 11 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"

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 8 points 11 months ago

That is called an elephant path or a desire path.

[-] SaintWacko@slrpnk.net 42 points 11 months ago

Yes, I believe that is why it was posted in the desire_paths community

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 11 months ago

So many lost lemmings...

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 8 points 11 months ago

I am so smrt.

[-] rhythmisaprancer@moist.catsweat.com 4 points 11 months ago

Maybe folks just want another bench and bin!
