    Rule 110 demos already exist but I think Turing machines are more fun! Explanation of how it works: https://github.com/brandondong/css-turing-machine/blob/maste...

    (I actually made this a few years ago but the approach was flawed. Only recently got around to rewriting it.)

    > Technically html + css + user interaction can be turing complete: https://github.com/brandondong/css-turing-machine

    Turing completeness is about what computations can be expressed, not what user interactions can be performed. The lambda calculus is Turing complete, but, if I whip up a lambda calculus interpreter and don't give it a print statement, then you'll never know anything about the computations it's performing.

    Seems like regex is not turing complete, bit its not a programming langauge ether. I thought i remembered that it was, i listed as one of the joke langauges as i know someome showed that PowerPoint is turing complete, but i think i mixed up regex and CSS here(that again is not a programming langauge but is in fact turing complete: https://github.com/brandondong/css-turing-machine)

    It is definetly a borderline case (because of the need for clicking) , but html + css combined can be used to simulate the rule 110 automaton. Therefore it is possible to simulate a turing machine which means that it is in fact turing complete.

    I understand CSS and I've done a fair bit of webdesign myself. CSS has evolved to the point where it can be used abusively. Hell some consider it turing complete (https://github.com/brandondong/css-turing-machine). From ads, to fingerprinting, to exploits there are valid reasons for wanting a little less functionality while still allowing for some basic styling. I mean, it's cool that there are computer games written in pure CSS and other neat tricks, but sometimes you just want a browser to behave itself even in hostile spaces. If that makes my locked down browser a "horse drawn cart" I'm happy to trot forward.
