If you could select 5 files to store forever, what would these files be?

1. A .txt file that contains only the number 42, repeated in every known language/numerical format. I’m talkin hexadecimal, binary, Chinese, Cyrillic, EVERYTHING. And absolutely no explanation. Why would that be relevant? If you don’t get it, you wouldn’t understand XD
2. A copy of every religious text, each translated into every major language. However, in all the margins there would be penises of every shape and size. Relevance? This is bound to piss someone off, no matter who discovers it. I will be trolling for centuries, if not longer.
3. A copy of the human genome. I think it would be nice to be able to compare a thousand years down the road and more and see all the changes (or lack thereof). Hilariously, they will probably destroy the files after seeing the contents of the first two and lose this, an extremely valuable find.
4. Just in case they HAVEN’T destroyed the files, I would also have an audio archive of every imaginable kind of music, from classical productions to whatever that garbage Young Thug puts out is. Mainly because I want to make sure at some point everyone gets to download Metallica for free without getting sued.
5. Last but not least, a whole lot of porn. You are welcome, future apocalyptic wastelander who finds this data.

EDIT: I wrote this as a half serious and half humorous response, so I appreciate the response!
