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.

    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 like the idea of gemini. But at the same time, plain html is not so bad? If all you want is text and links, we can do this with html too right? Maybe browser complexity is the issue? With a simple text-only browser a web page would just be text. Most modern sites wouldn’t work, but… that’s the point I guess.

        No its not its just covered in my old internet statement. My point is the web is not the internet and web 2.0 is not the web. Webrings can still be a thing. A new protocol can be created tomorrow that learns from the lessons of corporate capture and builds a defense against it.

    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.

    Offline wipideia, maps, dictionaries and study material in at least japanese and Norwegian, and every how-to video on farming, bikes, cars, tractos, home repair, and carpentry I could get my hands on. I actually prefer books for some things, but reading japanese is such a slog for me, having them in English would save a lot of time.

    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.
