If every piece of data on the internet was destroyed, unrecoverable, gone forever and the internet had to start all over again what would you do?

Rejoyce that all the DeepWeb is gone.
Start over again.
Be thankful it's gone, I'm pretty sure most people would be glad their interweb travels are gone and never findable. I would definately have lost some friends, but hey, a lot of the old shitty websites that are still live would be gone and never have a chance to spark up again.

I would also assume that since it has to start over, URLs, IPs, etc. would have have to be resold. I would be buying up a lot of those. Make some good money.

My porn!

I would race through the postapocalyptic wasteland as a data courier delivering USB sticks and fending off datajacker gangs. And I would wonder why the Internet going down made everyone's hair so wonky, but they've got some stylin' clothes.

Suicide.

Kill myself, but first fap.

How technology and things get easily transferred, it probably would only take an hour or maybe less to set everything right.

I'd start a message board where people could post images. There'd be no registration required, and anyone could post anonymously. Anything legal could be posted. I'd probably make it an anime board, there'd be sub-boards for other topics. There'd even be a just-for-fun random section.

What could go wrong?
