Uhhhhh, I have specifically downloaded an offline version of Wikipedia. I'm pretty sure this is just regular reporting from The Onion.

    Where can you download the entirety of wikipedia and how do you actually use it?

    Wikipedia actually hosts various snapshots of the entire website that you can download. If you download the text only version in English it's less than 10GB if I recall. If you want photos and other things it's in the hundreds of gigs.

    The easiest I'm aware of that requires the least effort and knowledge is an open source application called Kiwix which has apps for Android (both F-Droid and Play Store), Windows, Linux, iOS, and MacOS.
