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

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

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

Forester@pawb.social · 20 pts · 1y

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

Whoever was trying to force it was an idiot, and people are savages.

(Although I actually question if it would end this way)

It suggests that they put it too far to the left.

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 pts · 1y

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”

Some people choose to look at the comments rather than the official look-at-the-community route.

I know, just fulfilling other's wishes.
