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.
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.
I like how the path curves behind the bench after the bench goes up like people are choosing not to walk in front of people sitting on the bench.
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.
For the life of me, I can’t figure out what changes between panel 10 and 11.
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.
My takeaway from this is that I can spawn park benches and greenery by walking on the grass.
That’s why there are all those “keep off the grass” signs. If people just walked all over the grass willy-nilly we’d soon be knee deep in benches and bins, and nobody wants that.

Quality content, thanks!
These are called desire paths.
Hence the cross post to !desire_paths@sh.itjust.works :)
I saw that, hence where I got the very idea!
Hence!
Hitherto!
I heard Finnish municipalities do studies when it’s newly snowed to check where the desired footpath goes by looking at tracks in the snow. It avoids that issue in the image
That certainly speeds up the process so they can Finnish early.
They don’t wanna be Russian around.
Otherwise there’s Norway they’ll be done in time
Sweden.
Sweet, man.
Dude!!! What’s mine say???
It says you can’t have a race there, all lines are Finnish lines
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.
