For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO's, and a lot of entertainment media.

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.

Perhaps instead of using youtube-dl or yt-dlp, you may enjoy some client such as freetube more, as it has a lot of the benefits of those tools, but without ads, and with sponsorblock/thumbnail correction, and other nice customizations. It also enables you to create playlists and whatnot.

You can hit a button to download directly from a video's page as well, though I think that feature needs some love from the developers (you don't get a loading bar on download).

Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.

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.

All Jetbrains products

Arcane Season 1 and 2.

A distilled DeepSeek R1 model.

Opera videos.

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.

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.
