Jane was a class act, a total bad ass, and a huge inspiration for a little nature nerd (like I was at 6).
Sad to see her go, but she's left a huge mark on science and conservation and inspired thousands.
Now I'm a big nature nerd, and work to save it. Thanks for the guiding light, Jane.
💜
91 impactful years. I hope to leave quarter of a legacy that she does. Rest in power.
A true cause for flying flags at half mast.
she'll definitely R.I.P. Say hello to that great big chimp/monkey/gorilla in the sky for me
King Kong?
EDIT: Oh, nevermind, I just got that.
Yeah, King Kong. That big ass dude fell a long time in the sky while he was falling.
Harambe?
If I was a betting man.... yes, Harambe
Wasn't just Goodall, she was Bestall
The longer I live in this magaverse, the more I understand the desire to go live with chimpanzees.
If you knew anything about chimpanzees, you wouldn't say that.
If you knew anything about the magaverse, you wouldn't question it.
Apes together strong.
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-ay to chimpan-zee.
She was one of the best of us monkeys....😪
Apes. RIP.
Dicks out for Jane Goodall?
And the world gets a little bit more bitter. RIP Jane ❤️🐒
...the past couple (or like... 7) decades must have been absolutely maddening.
Rest well ma'am.
My condoms.... Condolences. Autocorrect ducks in my phone.
Anyway, remember watching her videos on KPBS and learning about chimpanzees and bonobos, gorillas and orangutans because of her. She was awesome.
My condoms. All my condoms!

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
