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.
Fuck yeah, awesome :)
desiremachete pathsThank you for your service 🫡
(like unironically. that rules)
These are called desire paths.
Goat paths here
Elephant paths in my country.
Hence the cross post to [email protected] :)
I saw that, hence where I got the very idea!
Hence!
Hitherto!
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
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.
Until the fuckers added another 2m/6ft to the walk by putting in the trashcan…
We were looking after someones dog for a week and we have a big yard for our dogs. This dog and one of ours got on so well they would chase each around the yard for hours, so much that after a week there was a desire path race track formed with noticeable banks around the corners and everything.
Post a picture! Sounds awesome
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.
That’s a great point. And come to think about it, the flamethrower drones may work better alongside the attack dogs.
social trails
Desire paths
That hedge could actually be a gods windbreak behind the bench
A full bench!? I miss benches that made sense instead of the hostile architecture ones popping up.
So far where I live have pretty normal benches.
All I see here is people tricking the government into putting in a nice little micropark.
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 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
I think that would be UC berkley
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 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
This gives me huge canvas vibes because that was happening a lot there. Haha (It was called canvas, right? The event where you place a pixel every so often.)

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.
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 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
Oof. Sorry man.
Also, she says hey.
*waves tearfully *
How’s your monitor smell?
Like beef mostly
