why are you posting a screenshot of your gallery instead of the actual image? 🙈

[+] Napain@lemmy.ml -34 points 2 months ago

it's easier that way

[-] ben_dover@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

is it really easier to make a screenshot instead of just hitting "share"?

in my last workplace, support put pictures into word documents instead of sending them directly, this gives me the same vibes

edit: oh i see it's insta, makes more sense now

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Never used Insta; does it not have share or even a download button? What kind of social media app doesn't have a share button?

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

you can't even zoom on pictures and have them stay zoomed in on instagram.

[-] rbn@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

I also never used Instagram but I guess a share button would just generate a link to the post there and not share a copy of the picture. They want people to come see their content (and ads) and not content to be sent to the people outside their platform. It's a walled garden afterall.

Do you genuinely not know how to crop an image? Or just link to wherever you found this?

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

Op uses Instagram, so evidently not

Have another sign made and install it overnight

"Please make an additional path covering this packed down area, WE WILL NOT COMPLY"

When they put up fencing to block it off, use cheap bottle jacks and small cuts of 4x4 lumber to rip the fence out of the ground, but just where it blocks the desired pathway.

missing a black sharpie “nope”

Can you even get through on the bricks? Looks like the fence blocks it.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 13 points 2 months ago

Looks like it but the fence is probably between the walkway and the road

[-] ElderWendigo@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 months ago

The fence is there to keep people from crossing the road at the end of that brick sidewalk. The desire path exists because people want to cross the road and are blocked by the fence. You can also see the utilities for the crosswalk to the left of the image at the end of the desire path.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Wouldn't want to risk it.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

It really doesn't look that way to me.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

If you post it enough in the wrong community, it will eventually become the right community.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 11 points 2 months ago

Wait, “purpose built” should be hyphenated!

[-] profoundninja@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

That said purpose made though.

[-] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

These are called “goat paths” and architects seem pretty bad at predicting them.

[-] JDubbleu@programming.dev 17 points 2 months ago

Ohio State actually allowed desire paths to form and then paved over them later to make sure the paths were efficient and would be properly utilized.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

This is the way

[-] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

They are called desire paths.

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Doesn't have to be one or the other.

also known as a trail, social trail, fishermen trail, herd path, cow path, elephant path, buffalo trace, goat track, pig trail, use trail and bootleg trail,

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Needs a "pave this you stupid fucks" sign

[-] Floey@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Why go through so much effort to protect some shitty grass?

[-] anti@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

That's about a mile and a half from my house!

[-] freebee@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 months ago

It should be 1,6 miles use the paved path !!!

[-] some_guy 3 points 2 months ago

But there's a fence.

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Well they would rather go straight to the curb to cross.. Maybe they should change the crosswalk?

[-] DickFiasco@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago
