How useful would Wikipedia be in a post-apocalyptic situation? I feel like everything else you've mentioned is like, 2 orders of magnitude more important, and any sort of book on survival (even something like "how to survive a zombie apocalypse" or whatever) would beat Wikipedia in terms of usefulness.
- ericb 7y agoI think you could get basic metallurgy, rocks, minerals, factory techniques, description of various machines, motors, engines, pumps and irrigation, stills, solar stills, horticulture, animal husbandry and other things from wikipedia at a level that would be useful. Things like "is this plant edible" are potentially useful.
- sincerely 7y agoI see where you're coming from. I just feel like so much of wikipedia is pop culture and history (I could be wrong though, I have no idea how to check this) that there would probably be a much more efficient resource for a post-apocalyptic scenario.
