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.
Nah
My gosh this is such a funny premise.
Calm down satan.
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.
Thank you for your service 🫡
(like unironically. that rules)Fuck yeah, awesome :)
desiremachete paths
University of Maryland did this with their walkways for a while. They let the kids beat down paths for the year to make the sidewalks.
Makes heaps of sense, when you can. Still need something for people in wheelchairs and stuff early on though.
I’ve often thought painting lines across paths and then observing the paint wear off could tell you a lot about which paths could be removed, or where corners could be rounded off better.
They had regular sidewalks that the campus planners made. But they took a year to see what the students walking paths looked like.
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.
These are called desire paths.
Hence the cross post to [email protected] :)
I saw that, hence where I got the very idea!
Hence!
Hitherto!
Elephant paths in my country.
Goat paths here
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
That hedge could actually be a gods windbreak behind the bench
Apparently when they were building the death star, they couldn’t figure out where to put the vents, so they just turned off the gravity and threw a bunch of womp rats in the center and built out pipes along the vectors of where they died.
I especially like when people do this in the snow and make big holes that I can easily step into
If that’s a popular place to cut through, that hedge would also get wrecked from kids trying to see if they can jump it.

Desire paths
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.
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

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.
This is the way TikToker shows how he keeps people from walking across his lawn
So he’s an asshole assaulting children for fun, which is also almost certainly illegal
If told this I’m sure the cunt would say “muh propertay tho”
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.
