You need to watch this other documentary called The Core.

Well, it might not have happened with chimpanzees, but it happens all the time with humans. So I see it more as a good allegory than a true story.

Take five chimpanzees. Put them in a big cage. Suspend some bananas from the roof of the cage. Provide the chimpanzees with a stepladder. BUT also add a proximity detector to the bananas, so that when a chimp goes near the banana, water hoses are triggered and the whole cage is thoroughly soaked.

Soon, the chimps learn that the bananas and the stepladder are best ignored.

Now, remove one chimp, and replace it with a fresh one. That chimp knows nothing of the hoses. He sees the banana, notices the stepladder, and because he is a smart primate, he envisions himself stepping on the stepladder to reach the bananas. He then deftly grabs the stepladder... and the four other chimps spring on him and beat him squarely. He soon learns to ignore the stepladder.

Then, remove another chimp and replace it with a fresh one. The scenario occurs again; when he grabs the stepladder, he gets mauled by the four other chimps -- yes, including the previous "fresh" chimp. He has integrated the notion of "thou shallt not touch the stepladder".

Iterate. After some operations, you have five chimps who are ready to punch any chimp who would dare touch the stepladder (or curse Henry Symeonis) -- and none of them knows why.

90m, that is deep.

Ohh, I had forgotten about this. Fabulous. They're only from 2017. I would've sworn they were older.

Emblematic of our times.

What are you saying? The war on billionaires will create more billionaires?

Looks very bland.

Isn't that lemmynsfw.com?

I use YouTube in Firefox for Android because it has ublock. That's by far the easiest way. All the other apps wouldn't work for me or don't show my recommendations.

I thought you should spray and nuke them.

Please stop these idiotic arguments. I don't think you're actually so dumb, that you don't understand what my point was. So you're being willfully obtuse just to annoy other people. Also, Chinese isn't a thing. You probably mean Mandarin Chinese, which does have the highest number of native speakers. But English is still the common language (or lingua franca) across the world, even though it is number 3 in terms of native speakers.

Please stop being an obnoxious ass. English is the de-facto lingua franca of the world, acting like German is in any way comparable is just disingenuous.

Because more people speak it?

They seem to use MPEG-DASH, which shows as a series of MP4 files each returning 206 Partial Content. I tried https://github.com/emarsden/dash-mpd-cli to download it using the MPD XML file, which you can find by filtering for "master" in your browsers network log. But that didn't work. Still, you might want to spend more time on it than I have at the moment.

Can you give us the URL?

Oh man, I hate the motion sensors so much, when they're outside the booths.

If the page uses the built-in player, right click and save as should work. If right click is disabled, get an extension to force enable it.

Yes! That's also him.

Thanks for the correction! The name felt odd, but I got distracted and couldn't verify it.
