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.

@ConnorLangkopf

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.

@pauljanetzke

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.

@lukaskubik4698

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

@AdamMPick

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

@chowrites6179

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

@rohanchavan5778

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

@meestyouyouestme3753

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

@Wppsamsung2024

This is genuinely the best short I have ever seen! No tricks, no fluff, incredibly interesting and useful and information. Thank you, subbed.

@migueldoesstuff6994

So every isekai protagonist has Wikipedia downloaded to their phone

@yesteryearr

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

@azzaahmed7367

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

@Genielamp25

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

@cubekoss7547

RDR2 is more than wikipedia

@raynfall77_69

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

@CitizenSnips69

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

@diatonicdelirium1743

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

@HetzerHowitzer

Time to upload the entirety of Wikipedia into my neurolink

@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
