I think I'd be fine, I have a massive offline media library on my Jellyfin, endless game backlog, meme folders spanning content since 2014, YT videos from my favourites playlist (like 2k of them), endless projects to take on, and I have an offline backup of Wikipedia (both as kiwi reader and official tar with the offset file iirc) so if I need to look anything up I can do that there. Last time my ISP's BGP shat the bed I just had a really chill day reading, chatting with my gf and playing some games during the workday, then making some music and portscanning my ISP's upstream gateway (only thing I could actually reach lol). I loved it, and frankly even during power outages I'm very good at keeping myself entertained even without all that. I also have some Roland boutique synths that are battery powered so I could always just make my own music if I was really desperate for some entertainment and things got apocalyptic.
I also have dozens of books, manga volumes and more I've been meaning to read, lots of physical cassettes and a late 90s cheapo walkman to listen to them on to and some charged batteries I'm always able to throw in the walkman there.
Not meant as a flex, but more as a comparison for what solutions I have and a demonstration of what someone without an internet addiction of any kind might do if the internet went down.
I am an actual drug addict though (I have ADHD and receive a medication on prescription via the govt health service), because of amerikkkan pharma kkkartel rules I can't build up a stash, only 30 capsules per month, only one month at a time, so I'd need to switch to my backup DNM amph to tie me over, though amph w/ds are very chill, you just feel stupid and sleepy for like a week or so. Procuring nicotine and estrogen might be more problematic though.
How did you get the playlists? I'm sure there's a better way than grabbing them one by one.
If you use yt-dlp you can just give it the entire playlist URL.
