Bullet will make you worse at chess you can’t practice and think just play random moves. Play 15/10 minute game or 30min games and you can think practice and improve at chess
Ok, thanks
everyone should play blitz. it is better than bullet or rapid

Bullet is mostly tilt and spamming moves. If it weren't for flagging, I'd be 1500 bullet by now. I outplay 85% of my opponents but always lose on time. I put more then zero thought into my moves and that slowly adds up, and I lose with anywhere between a 1 second disadvantage to 30. Most of the time I can literally predict half the moves my opponent plays, especially after a recapture or some moment where they think. They go, "huh, what looks good?" and play some that looks "right" without ANY thought into it. They make the move and by then I've already considered it because they think like absolute beginners. It's actually embarrassing how predictable they are. You get people that are 1700 rapid at 1250 bullet (my current elo) with people with 900 rapid. All because they can use their brains less. Bullet is infuriating most of the time, that's why I try not to play it lol.

the trick to bullet is to use an opening move that works against anything. as black I premove d5 because if they play d4, ill play a d5 opening, if they play e4 it's a scandinavian defense, and if they play the english its the Anglo-Scandinavian defense. Could work with things like the Pirc and the French too

Funny, I do this too! They play the same more or less every time, but since Scandi theory is hard to know since it's mostly development and then shifting a lot.. I usually make a lot of the same mistakes in games.
Playing bullet is something similar to speedcubing or unscrambling a 3D puzzle like the Rubik's cube. In speedcubing, you first have to know how the puzzle works. Then you gradually study new methods to unscramble the puzzle faster than before until you beat your own personal best. Going back to chess, think about the board as the cube. It can have infinite scrambled positions each time you play. But just like with speedcubing, you gain your own sets of techniques and encounter similar positions over and over again.
Theoretically, as a result, you develop a shorter time reaction to each of your opponent's moves after playing lots of games. Eventually, (and hopefully, though) you improve your overall analysis of your game positions to find more options faster and decide which of them is the best. Playing bullet is also like setting up a position randomly with your opponent to, at some moment, have a puzzle kind of situation, wherein you are left with very minimal time to respond to the "puzzle" in front of you to find the best sequence of moves to win. But yeah, same as what others are saying, play longer time formats first like blitz or rapid before diving in bullet. Build your foundation first, set pre-moves on, and perhaps auto promote to queen, before playing bullet. Then see for yourself if it benefits you.
I don't be very good at bullet's. Please, give me some advice
