You don't need the internet to look stuff up!
You can create your own 100% offline guide to human knowledge by installing @kiwix@mastodon.social on your phone or computer and then using it to search offline copies of Wikipedia and other wiki-based reference works. There's more info about this on the official website at:

(I use Kiwix to store https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Main_Page which gives travel tips for the entire planet. It's like a real life "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" 🙂 )
