Spin: What would happen if Wikipedia went down and was wiped from the internet?

[King]

That would legit be as big as losing google.

The world would definitely suffer intellectually as a result.

Imagine a world with no Wikipedia. Shyt would be legit insane, bring us back to the dark ages of information lowkey

Companies would really be able to control the flow of information then.

Wikipedia is to information what the radio is to music.

we’d be fine

nothing at all, it's mirrored in a bunch of places Wikipedia:Database download - Wikipedia

even third-world children have offline copies One Laptop per Child - Wikipedia

Professors and teachers would treat it like the Berlin Wall came crashing down.

Thanks for letting me know you are uneducated.

I'm pretty sure plenty of people have backups.

In fact, you can download all of Wikipedia right now yourself. It's less than 100 GB uncompressed.

You're really a dumbass fakkit.

Wikipedia really was an amazing idea. I need to start donating when they’re begging for money

I use to love smoking a blunt at night and going down Wikipedia rabbit holes
