Lol, imagine how tournaments would be...
They would have to build bedrooms in the playing hall, because games would take days to finish.

Imagine spending 60 days isolated from society, locked on a playing hall, just because Magnus doesn't want to draw.

40/90+30 SD/30+30
Yeah, longer time controls are the favorites. I mean... the standard chess is the classical one, even for FIDE.

bro why blitz
It’s fun.
For rated otb tournaments no faster than 3 hours and no longer than 4 hours for both players. That's total time, 90 to 120 minutes each with possible increment (1 to 10 seconds) to prevent crazy end of game bullet. Here's why: Recently I looked up the average time spent on each game of most of the major sports. Baseball, tennis, soccer (futball), basketball, NFL football, etc. The average was a bit over 3 hours. People's attention spans just won't tolerate long chess games, it's already tough enough getting non players interested in learning chess as it is. Shorten the average of serious classical games but between 3 and 4 hours.

This is obviously a preference question
30 seconds per player with 10 second delay
yeap, easily hyperbullet, 30 seconds
in all seriousness, probably 10 or 15 minutes
as of tournaments (otb) i'd say around like, 2 and a half hours

There are so many entertaining chess variants and time controls that have been created in the last 25 years that it would probably be impossible and unfair to choose one chess time format that would satisfy everyone. I personally prefer the 1:30/40 classical with delay satisfactory for me. I have always been curious about the "evolution" of the SPEED Chess time formats. 40-50 years ago the prominent speed controls were 5 minute blitz or the more "casual" 10 minute speed chess. Today, on line, the rage appears to be the 3:00 bullet format supplanting the tradition 5 minute speed chess format. Ideally, I'd split the difference and advocate for a 4 minute speed chess with a 1 second delay.
For me, it would be classical. Even with a lot of drawns, I think it's the only format that can create masterpieces. And it's also cool when I'm watching a classical game, and the engine suggests the only winning line, and then I go "Nah, no human would ever find this"... and then, they find it.
