A decent chunk of that is in The Food Lab cookbook.
Youtube videos. I used to use youtube-dl exclusively, and then that stopped working, and I've gradually been sucked back into just using the website. But there's a text file with a list of URLs I've been meaning to grab for posterity... and it's getting kinda fat.
Honestly, I think I'm mostly set already (as I often go backpacking and there's no internet there). I have offline maps for the country I'm in and neighboring regions downloaded in OsmAnd and mapy.cz (two sources just in case), Wikipedia in Kiwix, and my custom NixOS setup as a bootable ISO on a flashdrive. I'll probably miss being able to watch science/maths edutainment on YouTube, but it's not something I'd download.
annas-archive.org, arxiv.org, and maybe internet archive too if possible
Netflix.
Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.
All of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, JK I've got that shit on lock already
All Jetbrains products
Ableton Live
I already did.
Already got all my favourite games downloaded or on DVD. All my Youtube favourites and the full catalogues of some old channels would be great. No JonGrumps and no 00's meme videos make me something something.
Arcane Season 1 and 2.
A distilled DeepSeek R1 model.
Opera videos.
I'd want to pirate every drawing program I never got a chance to try, plus the fancier writing software. Gonna have a lot of time to learn both.
I've seen shockingly few movies and TV shows so maybe all the media I can get my hands on, too.
What makes you think I didn't already download everything I want?
Nothing, I never said any such thing. In your case your answer to my question would be "I would not have to wish, because I already downloaded everything I want". This makes you wise.
Nothing.
If the Internet went away, we'd have a little time before batteries were not viable even if replaceable, as distributing those batteries would get problematic.
We would have had no time to withdraw cash as cash, an important thing since banks will fall over at least enough to trigger an economic collapse.
No, we're all gonna need to learn how to fight, and live without hospitals and drugs and probably electricity.
We have bigger problems than ensuring we can look up the capital of Rwanda on this cached Wikipedia while we listen to The Cure.
