Download Wikipedia

[Leosch]

I took the whole English Wikipedia with me to a physics test once. It was an open book test, with laptops allowed but no internet connectivity. Worked nicely to look up some things quickly.

The entirety of human Wikipedia takes up less space than some video games. Wild

EDIT: not sure if I meant to say "human knowledge" or just "Wikipedia", but clearly y'all didn't care.

WARNING, while the download for the ENTIRE WP including images is small, the extraction is several terabytes in size. WP is mostly text and text compresses VERY well.

Yes, finally a solution to the hypothetical of ending up being sent back in time, and needing to explain how to make modern technology.

Without media.
428.36 TB was the real number in 2023, according to Wiki.

So every isekai protagonist has Wikipedia downloaded to their phone

[rohanchavan]

Now imagine the internet archive being so downloadable....

This feels like the modern equivalent of those gigantic collection of encyclopedias you see in ritzy houses or expensive offices

Somehow, even in the midst of an apocalypse, someone will tell me I shouldn't trust Wikipedia as a source.

[Genielamp]

crazy that the sum of human knowledge is less than a third of the size of a single log file for ghost of tsushima

if you were stranded on a island and you did this you would come back smart as hell

“You’re under arrest for downloading all of Wikipedia.”
“wait I can explain everything!”

[PocketPropulsion]

Tbh considering I live in a country where foreign websites constantly get blocked and shut down due to government restrictions, this is insanely useful, gonna go download the entirety of wikipedia for myself, just in case

I've had so many imaginary conversations with historical figures from the past, and knowing this just made my future imaginary conversations SO much easier and accurate

[HetzerHowitzer]

Time to upload the entirety of Wikipedia into my neurolink

[ElGoogKO]

This video should have the most views of the entirety of videos out there. It is the best info i have found on youtube since forever.

[CitizenSnips]

When society collapses and we devolve back into cavemen, one of our distant descendants is going to stumble upon the entirety of Wikipedia and become the new god

[Lord_eBatts]

That explains why main characters seem to know how to do everything in apocalypse scenarios

Pro tip: unpack it on a compressed volume or directory tree; it's mostly text that compresses extremely well.
