Download the most recent Stack Overflow archive you can find. I’m pretty sure military folks do this when they can’t access Internet for some reason.

Are there any convenient offline Stack Overflow browsers anyone knows of?

StackDump looks like an offline server setup, imo is too much hassle. But 5 weeks is a long time lol.

Probably the best way is to download the xml dump for your site of interest archive.org/download/stackexchange and create a parser/viewer if one does not exist already.

Edit: Checked how big the 7zip file is just for stackoverflow post archive sitting at 13.6GB, would be nice if that was broken down in years lol, that's just the posts without adding comments, users, tags, votes, etc.
