Lots of code repos. Especially repos for programming languages, compilers, and Git.

The Time Cube so I could rebuild society.

Not to be confused with Times Square
What the hell
Wikipedia would be the most valuable thing if I had to pick one, I guess.
An maybe the "your jimmies are eternal video" in case I need to unrustle my jimmie ever again.
Arch wiki with arch man docs.
Today I learned I'm unintentionally preparing for the Internet apocalypse.
Can't believe I'm the first to say this, but... porn.
Honestly, I think I'm mostly set already (as I often go backpacking and there's no internet there). I have offline maps for the country I'm in and neighboring regions downloaded in OsmAnd and mapy.cz (two sources just in case), Wikipedia in Kiwix, and my custom NixOS setup as a bootable ISO on a flashdrive. I'll probably miss being able to watch science/maths edutainment on YouTube, but it's not something I'd download.
Extra RAM.
A full copy of Stack Overflow. Otherwise, we would not know how to get the Internet working again.
Somethings are better when done from scratch.
If you'd download the whole wikipedia be sure to download the whole commets section for each article to have a perspective on discussions on conflicting reasons for edits. Also include all the wiki media materials for all of the public domain literature, project gutenberg, entire archive.org, a good offline OS to be able to consume all of the information and you're golden
entire archive.org
How much would it cost to store like 100 petabytes for (conservatively) 40 years?
You mean electricity bills for powering the storage? I guess buying 100pb worth of storage disks would be pretty expensive enough but since it's an archive there is no need to keep it powered 24/7, just turn them on only when you need to. It's just a hypothetical situation anyway, it's a thing I wish to have access to; only an experienced sysadmin can actually maintain such great archive or its copy/backup

Opera videos.
annas-archive.org, arxiv.org, and maybe internet archive too if possible
All the images I have bookmarked on multiple devices from e621, any game I've been even possibly hesitating on pirating, all my Steam games (I don't trust Inwouldnhe able to get in and install them if I could even get into my account to begin with at that point), and downloading every single song I have saved on yt and Newpipe because I'd never see them again.
A whole slew of things.

Definitely entertainment, but beyond that, Networking classes so that I can hack together a intranet for my household and the neighbourhood
Having the whole wikipedia would get you a damn good start to getting back to civilization.
Only as good as you know about the topic, try doing a http server from just a Wikipedia page

Iβve made sure Iβm good to go, as I always thought the day might come that I canβt afford internet anyway.
I have my entire gog and itch library downloaded (if I have any steam games not on gog, Iβve pirated them if I can find it). I have my nas full of movies and tv. I listen to all my favourite music on records. Every couple of years I go through and update my rom library to make sure I have the most to to date best known roms.
Even as much as possible I keep latest version of the Linux iso I might want, and if there is an appimage of my most used programs, itβs there too.
Iβm pretty much ready for my life to become leaner when it comes to internet.

What makes you think I didn't already download everything I want?
Nothing, I never said any such thing. In your case your answer to my question would be "I would not have to wish, because I already downloaded everything I want". This makes you wise.
That's a much classier way of calling someone a digital hoarder :)
A car.
You wouldn't.
A distilled DeepSeek R1 model.
Man I have never thought about it because of feeling so at ease with the digital video game stores and just downloading what I want whenever I want without keeping a physical library that would take up space. Same with books.
If the internet died tomorrow, I would have the stuff I'm playing or reading or watching downloaded but I would be out of luck for anything else until it came back. Maybe it's time to start a backup, get a big HDD or something
All the Debian ISO images and all of the documentation on everything.
This way. I should have all the stable software I could wish for and the instructions on how to use them.
don't forget the source code!
Assuming the web would go completely bust, I'd go back to a much simpler life.
The Gutenberg Project, as well as those free online classes for things.
Honestly I'd probably just give up on technology entirely. Become a hermit carpenter or something
