Lately after browsing through the forums i see people posting links to normal websites and say warning clearnet. What does this mean? and why is there a warning, thanks!

Clearnet = non-Onion based addresses. You access .Onion addresses through TOR. You may not want to access a clearnet site through TOR as your TOR given IP address may be recorded by the site. A link can possibly be established between your Tor activities and your clearnet activities if you access both from TOR.
Best practice is to access clearnet using a standard browser. Or using a standard or Tor browser, using the search engine "start page" and using their proxy to access the site in question.

Any site that does not need tor to access.
