Added next day: Using a spreadsheet, I calculated this up to n=143 (after which nn gets to large for Excel 365), when the left-hand term is 0.376 734, which differs from 1/e by 2.4%. A pinned comment below the video has a clever way to do the limit:
though the proof of Stirling's approximation is very similar to the method used in the video.
