What does detach mode do?

Returns to the normal terminal after it runs.

Remove -d and the docker container will be running in that terminal and you won't be able to enter any other commands. Alt+c will return to normal terminal and kill the container

Otherwise -d does nothing different to the container, just runs the container "in the background" so you can continue entering other commands in the terminal without having to open another terminal tab or terminal window?
