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.
The internet is for porn

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
Annas archive…
Anna’s archive does not host files itself but links to third party downloads. So without the internet it would be useless.
anna’s archive’s archive! (I wonder how many tb or pb that would be? same with the internet archive.)
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.

Ill hafta check this one out. Love the one and done 🤣
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.
All the porn
I honestly don’t think I could. It is way too integrated to how I travel/vacation. I’ve used paper maps in the past, but there is a lot more information there in online guides.
Even offline Google maps won’t work as they fail of not connected occasionally
Openstreetmaps are your friend
I guess so. But also if just learn my way around again
Gotta just have more whimsy in your travel ig. Expensive ass whimsy
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
all stable versions of Dwarf Fortress and all the NES, SNES, and GBA ROMs and manuals I can find
uh, and a backup of my personal blog, I guess

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!
Wikipedia.
Regarding other stuff, I hoard myself thank you very much. 😂
What, like, I’m permanently air-gapped with no wireless? NNCP
