I'm not saying this is a question to train AI on a specific piece of information, but i don't know that it would have been worded differently if it was.

User history proves that this user is genuinely a weird wizard, emphasis on weird.

Websites ending in .onion are on the Tor network. You need to be connected to and using Tor (The Onion Router, see the other comments) to be able to connect them.
In short, Tor connects you to the internet by splitting bits of your connection across all the other Tor users. This makes it much harder to trace your activity if you are browsing anonymously (use the Tor Browser in its default configuration and window size, DO NOT SIGN INTO ANYTHING).

What is the meaning of all this ??

TL;DR: addresses only reachable through the TOR network.
slightly more info: when people say “dark web” they probably mean TOR. TOR has more users (privacy advocates, investigative journalists, whistle blowers, etc) outside of just “the dark web”, but this is the most prominent pop culture representation of it
this also means that some .onion URLs may be very nefarious… be careful with logins, payments, etc
