[Hypothetical] The internet is getting shut down for 5 years. You have 100 GB of storage available, you have 24 hours to prepare. What do you download? - eviltoast

Lets say you live in a world where the world government has decided people are getting too addicted to the internet and ordered the internet to be shut down for 5 years. The 100 GB of storage is all you have (excluding essential system files for your Operating System). You have 24 hours before the internet is getting shut down. What do you download?

    I have a 100% remote job a few hundred km away. Even if you made the exception for remote work, my job would basically be pointless because our company operates entirely in the online world.

    I also wouldn’t be able to Skype or even email my aging family back in the US.

    Also, in very rural Japan, online shopping is a huge saver of time and money. I’d also have to watch OTA Japanese tv which mostly sucks.

    I was thinking just various learning materials, but I think you can just shoot me instead sometime before the bank repo’s my house

      I think in this scenario you just have to pretend we are ok economically, because of the Internet went down entirely, the world economy would completely collapse in a few hours to days.
