[Feature request ] ⅛+0 time control

Am I the only one who simply hates that there is even such a thing as a TC Under 1 min?

Just feels like a playground for script kiddies, bots, engines, and lag switchers.

@AtomicStudy, yet you don't seem to object against adding variants. You never wrote something like "If this variant would be added, all that will change is crazy people wanting another variant." So, for you information, ultrabullet is more popular than any other variant.

Ultrabullet has 70% popularity comparing to hyperbullet. So ⅛+0 should be at least as popular as Atomic and chess960. And you don't have to create a new variant, code all the rules and engine for it, you don't have to create a new rating category or change the leader-board. Yet there is nobody saying "This variant is not chess, there would be only crazy people wanting more", but somehow a very easy thing to do (relatively to variants) is facing so much objection. If Lichess doesn't want to have 1/8+0 at the very start of the "create a game" slider, why not just move it to a variants category "Ultrabullet" and let us enjoy it?

@DollaHollaAtcha, so you literally just called Magnus Carlsen, Andrew Tang, Eric Hansen, and many many other titled and untitled players script kiddies.
I think we should go to 1/8, and then stop, 1/16 would be too fast. For some reason people consider ultra a variant, but then still say it's chess.

1/8 is too long. You get to reach move 16 or so before the game ends. What we really need is 1 second game, that’s right 1 second + 0 for the whole game. Imagine the fun! You can barely make it to move 3!
