My Dad’s got early stage dementia and Facebook is an absolute nightmare. The apps infested with AI slop and the algorithm seems to fill his feed with stuff designed to get him worked up (currently badly behaved cyclists even though he no longer drives).

Mine got Israeli propaganda and kept texting me so often about Hamas and Muslims that I had to block him.
I have hoarded 61849 short videos (44 GB, filtered, no propaganda, spam or low quality stuff) from 9gag, with this you could build a "Fakebook" of your own and serve your parents whatever you want, I randomly picked 5 videos:

- funny cat video

- superfluid helium document from 60s

- people jumping on a roof and falling through

- abba sos song (in Swedish, or Esperanto, idk)

- kid saving bus driver with stroke

Analyze them with LLM, generate positive comments and you're good to go.
