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.

This is a visual I didn’t know I needed
Quality content, thanks!
If you lie on a sheltered concrete slab, they’ll install 20cm spikes, too
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”
not the content we deserve, but the content we desire
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
Local discounter had something like this, they just installed a hedge AND a fence. Really disenchanting. Not going there anymore.
Well I moved. But they cheated.
a hedge AND a fence
Cordless power tools are really good these days.
Fences don’t always work, I saw one go up and soon had a hole in it. Turns out deer are pretty persistent and willing to break them. Paths are not just used by people.
a bit of an extreme reaction to a hedge AND a fence, but I’ll allow it.
I’m playing the game on a bigger scale now
Least resistance or classic human defiance?
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…
Life is like this
All I see here is people tricking the government into putting in a nice little micropark.
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
it’s almost like humans don’t move like a rook (car)
I especially like when people do this in the snow and make big holes that I can easily step into
There’s been locations in the past where the decision was made to initially just build the minimum paths for handicap access and etc and then wait for the desire paths to form to decide where to put the rest of them. Great idea really. The apartment complex started plowing the one that goes from my building to the gas station.
That’s actually brilliant
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 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 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
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.)
