View submission: Anyone have examples of reviews like this?
Not really "violating physics" but I got these credit card sized solar calculators that had terrible reviews because people claimed they "charged it in the light" for days and it still doesn't work unless you shine a light on it.
The calculator had no battery or even room for one and definitely no charging circuit. It was literally just a solar panel connected to an off the shelf IC and an LCD screen. You can't even see the screen without light so I don't know why people cared.

...Okay, in fairness, why the fuck wouldn't it have a tiny battery? That's so dumb.
