Botox Optimization Algorithm #184
Description
A NEW OPTIMIZATION METHOD TO SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS!!!
Thanks to MDPI for publishing this scientific pearl. When you think the joke went too far...

I saw this marvel at a Linkedin post from Sörensen:

He wrote:
"Feeling optimistic that 2025 will bless us with even more “novel” metaheuristic algorithms, based on increasingly silly metaphors.
Here’s a gem from last year: Botox Optimization Algorithm, based on... botox surgery 🙄.
In true MDPI fashion, it made its way from initial submission to publication in just 19 days! 🚀
Who’s ready for the next breakthrough: the New Year's Resolution metaheuristic or… the Fireworks algorithm? Oh wait, that last one already exists!"
