I’d say, just go in to any nursing home, and say you want to adopt s grandma. They propably assing you multiple ones; unfortunately in msny cseses there are loads of elderly people who don’t get visited by anyone, so they are very happy to have “volunteer visitors”.

“Shorts to normal player” is the one on chromium (I used to use it in sandbox exclusively for YouTube). On Mozilla, the “YouTube Shorts Normal Player” seems to do the same trick it seems.

Well, I got annoyed about that, and found a browser addon that changes the url from shorts to videos.
