Just pertains to the internet, not computers as a whole. Like an offline version of wikipedia, favorite albums/movies/books. Any other ideas?

    Already mentioned in OP, but a copy of Wikipedia would be first priority.

    To say something else, I’d also grab the archive of GameFAQs guides.

    Archive.org has archived an awful lot of websites and other data, including Wikipedia. If I had to take just one website, I’d take that one.

      Anna’s archive does not host files itself but links to third party downloads. So without the internet it would be useless.

    Well, I would absolutely make a list of every single song I would ever want to download, every show/movie, every video from my favorite creators, and install my whole entire Steam/itch.io library, get the installers for every GOG game I have, get every single favorited art on FurAffinity/Weasyl downloaded, and then probably download an offline version of wikipedia to ensure I have plenty of things to do.

    Would need tens of terabytes, if not a hundred plus terabytes, of storage to do all this, but I’d be gutted without the internet because of how much I use it.

    Maps and navigation. Human-to-human communication could still happen via phone call. But navigation is absolutely required now. I remember having to drive places with a simple map and it sucked.

    The internet is not bad. The internet is not 5 websites. The old internet never went away. IRC never went away. Tildeverse is a thing. Gemini is a thing.

    I’ve got a collection already downloaded using Kiwix on an old Android tablet’s storage card.

    Wikipedia, a metric ton of books from Project Gutenberg, Medwiki and other medical books, stuff on homesteading, the last edition if the CIA factbook.

    I can edit after I get home from work with a more complete list. Basically, I scrolled through Kiwix and grabbed what looked useful if I didn’t have internet.

    Edit: As promised here is my complete list of downloads via Kiwix

    All the dots. . com would become com. 192.168.1.1 would become 19216811. All mentions of dippin dots would be affected across many different areas, though no one would be able to see it. Take all the tops off lower case I’s. It’d be fun.
