For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO's, and a lot of entertainment media.

I'd want to pirate every drawing program I never got a chance to try, plus the fancier writing software. Gonna have a lot of time to learn both.

I've seen shockingly few movies and TV shows so maybe all the media I can get my hands on, too.

What makes you think I didn't already download everything I want?

[–] golden_zealot@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.
