    The entirety of human Wikipedia takes up less space than some video games. Wild
    EDIT: not sure if I meant to say "human knowledge" or just "Wikipedia", but clearly y'all didn't care.

      Text is 2 bytes per letter and 3 bytes per pixel in an image (uncompressed). So when you have 4K images, uncompressed, it’s not surprising that games take up so much information

      That’s if it’s typical English text. Wikipedia articles might have a lot of repetition between them, which would increase compressibility if done as a block (information to decompress is shared between files), but individual articles might be atypical English text, resulting in worse compression.

Probably started as a group who happened to have it and as it's so useful they safeguard it but through the generation people forget who or why it was originally guarded but no the knowledge is immensely important thus a church is formed to keep it alive using the info inside to keep the little computer running. Maybe different sects having physical copies written down to take care of or even their own small computers but only given sections of the data like a sect for chemistry, biology, medical, math, or astronomy. Maybe even different groups around the world have their own languages wikipedia so some religious zealotry between like the English sect and the Spanish sect.

      @@PurpleCh4lkI mean, Wikipedia is notoriously biased. Both because it’s very left-wing, but also because it only cites articles about scientific studies, rather than the studies themselves. So even if an article gets something wrong and you can demonstrate this by citing the original study, Wikipedia will still go with the flawed article. Remember, Wikipedia isn’t about truth, it’s simply about parroting the narrative of the consensus. That’s decent around 90% of the time, but it’s really detrimental in that 10% of cases. Wikipedia themselves admit this.
