Just pertains to the internet, not computers as a whole. Like an offline version of wikipedia, favorite albums/movies/books. Any other ideas?
Well, porn, of course.
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.
GameFAQs guides is a clutch answer
Recipes! I gotta do something with the long winded conversations!
Underrated mention! Same for the person who mentioned DIY stuff
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.
I’ve got a collection already downloaded using Kiwix on an old Android tablet’s storage card.
Wikipedia, a metric ton of books from Project Gutenberg, Medwiki and other medical books, stuff on homesteading, the last edition if the CIA factbook.
I can edit after I get home from work with a more complete list. Basically, I scrolled through Kiwix and grabbed what looked useful if I didn’t have internet.
Edit: As promised here is my complete list of downloads via Kiwix

Gardening/homestead info is a great mention! What else would i do with all the free time
Happy to help.

I already have 30 G of music, lots of TV series and movies, and all my own pictures plus a bunch of interesting ones from the internet. I also have a bunch of ebooks covering various topics including software development tech, wilderness survival, and bushcraft/homestead tutorials. I’d say I already have everything I’d take from the internet.
I’ve never been one to rely on the internet being available. If something is important to me, I save it just in case. Periodically I review what I have and purge what no longer matters.
Guna need recipe books to go with the homesteading!!
Besides my archaic physical books, I have hundreds of recipes I pulled off the internet, indexed for a full-text search engine (Recoll). So, yeah, I agree!

What, like, I’m permanently air-gapped with no wireless? NNCP

Information about any skills I might want to improve or learn someday. Tutorials, professional reference sites, an archive of subreddits & other discussion communities dedicated to the topic. There’s so much depth of experience and know-how for any given skill on the internet; this would be one of the hardest things to give up access to current information on.
Similarly, inspiration reference for a lot of creative skills I pursue or may pursue in the future. A huge pile of blog posts, Pinterest tag archives, and YouTube downloads. It’ll be disappointing after a few years to not have easy access to current trends and styles, but hopefully enough of the reference is timeless.
I’d try to find some way to capture the vast amount of human life experience shared on the internet. Ask Metafilter archives, all the essays and blog posts I can find on different life stages and milestones and potential challenges that I can think of. It wouldn’t be the same as being able to actually connect with other people going through the same thing, which the internet makes so much easier, but at least it’d still be comforting to know they existed and hopefully learn from what they wrote about their experience.
Overall I’d rather not swear off the internet. Everyone loves to complain about the bad parts, but I think it’s a lot more dependent on how we choose to spend our time online than anything else.
Keeping up with creative design trends would be tough! Although maybe it would result in something wild without outside influence
probably my steam library (well the singleplayer ones that is), and every single ROM known to man
ROMs ftw
Wikipedia.
Regarding other stuff, I hoard myself thank you very much. 😂

Honestly if I knew how to set up a solid post scheduler bot I could really breathe some life into a lot of smaller communities here most of those folders have ten plus items which is a few months of weekly posts. Or a matrix scheduled messenger for the matrix server bridged into my texts and discord to regularly reach out to my friends.
