A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

According to my app, the whole English Wikipedia with pictures weighs 102.62GB, down to 60,06GB without.

There’s also a mini version that weighs 58,29GB but I don’t know what it contains

Wikipedia 1m Top Articles weighs 43,53GB

Any idea how the 8gb from another comment might be achieved?

Edit: I guess zipping it should work pretty well

TBH I have no idea

I just took a look at what my app is saying, but I didn’t dig into it

It's probably only the text. Images and videos weigh a lot more than text.

60GB is still more than 8GB
