What does .: come from / what does it mean?

Does anywhere online, shipping shoes in the USA have European sizes as a legitimate search option?
American sizing is criminal capitalist bullshit without standards. I am a 47. It fits perfectly. American sizing allows brands to fit and size differently to create anti consumer manipulation. The shoes are made in the same places. Just the American targeted junk is exploitive nonsense by design....
What would life be like if we had 2 moons? With 2 different lunar cycles, how would we tell which time of the year it is without months?
Are there any active news communities similar to Lemmy/Reddit, but users can only vote and comment, not post articles?
Like, the site owners/employees/admins/mods are the only ones who choose what to post(and hopefully not extremely bias and a good spread of topics), but the users can still upvote/downvote the post as well as comment and all that?...

Torrenting over Tor
I know torrenting over Tor is bad, because it steals bandwidth from those who really need it. But if I had qBittorrent (binded to Mullvad) running in the background and then started running Tor Browser, would that negatively affect the network?
What makes a bicycle so expensive?
There are some brands of bicycles that can cost more than the down payment on a car. Why? Surely making a bike lightweight and reliable isn’t so difficult that it warrants that price? Is it just the brand name or maybe it has to do with customization options?
Does the USPS, FedEx and UPS give a crap about weed shipments since Hemp sprayed with the same terpenes and looks the same as weed has been shipped legally for 9 years now?
Even if they did, won’t they get a lot of false positives because of a large amount of it being sprayed hemp buds that are legal as hemp? Also, I know a lot of dispensaries get their stock like vape pens and such delivered this way already. How does that all work?

Are phone notification LEDs still a thing?
Looking at all the features that older phones uses to have compared to newer ones, I never hear anyone talk about the removal of the notification LED.

Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?
Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now
Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9?
I’ve been re-watching star trek voyager recently, and I’ve heard when filming, they didn’t clear the wide angle of filming equipment, so it’s not as simple as just going back to the original film. With the advancement of AI, is it only a matter of time until older programs like this are released with more updated...
Is there any christian religions that don't believe in space?
So I have a born again christian family member in their mid twenties who stated with complete confidence that there is a dome in the sky called the firmament and beyond it is where heaven is. She believes space doesn’t exist and rockets just blow up because the bible said so. She is not the brightest and normally I would let...

Why not just let people use opioids? It's cheap. People like it. Arguably healthier than weed, alcohol or tobacco. Addiction isn't an issue if you can stay supplied.

Pretty much what the title says. I’m likely going to graduate after a few extra summer classes, and I’m trying to figure out how graduation will work. Is it University-specific? Or is there a general rule of thumb? I have a baby on the way and I’d like to start my career asap just to help take care of him.
Save Image Using Seed Instead of Prompt (perchance.org)
Is there any way to Save Image Using Seed Instead of Prompt? When you click on the link to save to computer it uses the first few prompts. I would like it to save using the Seed.
