Timmy made me consider downloading Wikipedia... I could do it, the download is less than 100GB, I could easily put it on an external backup and just forget about it.
It would theoretically be a good idea in case of an apocalypse, but in reality I'd end up never using it for anything. It's one of those things that I kinda want to do it cause it's cool (geeky), but it's completely useless.

I find it surprising that the archive of complete articles (without pictures) is about 50GB, and with pictures included is still less than 100GB. I know they're using .webp for images, but it's still way less than I expected. Just how much text does Wikipedia contain?!
@alyx pages upon pages of unreadable math paragraphs and propaganda 
some people were making little wifi hotspots with pi's so random camps had wikipedia access despite not having greater internet access
