Ah the ol’ desire path strikes again!
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.
Calm down satan.
Psychopath.
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…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
That hedge could actually be a gods windbreak behind the bench
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
social trails
I especially like when people do this in the snow and make big holes that I can easily step into
This is great!
it’s almost like humans don’t move like a rook (car)
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”
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.
