What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?

“What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?”

Bottom line: Depending on the underlying intent of the question, the answer could be anything from the destruction of the planet and every living thing, to a minor inconvenience that requires resetting our clocks.

If the oceans keep going, Earth’s surface is scoured clean by tsunamis moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Nearly everyone dies.

If everyone hates censorship so much, why do those “censorship-free” alternative social media sites always fail?

The answer depends entirely on how you interpret the question, which is why you see so many completely different responses.

If it stops by magic, does all the energy from Earth’s angular momentum also disappear by magic, or is it released as heat?

Does it stop due to a massive collision, or does it stop by magic?

Why do so many FtM people act like MtF people don't exist and what the hell am I supposed to do as an MtF person?

Does the whole planet (from core to atmosphere) stop spinning?

Does the solid Earth + the oceans stop spinning?

If Earth’s rotation is stopped by a collision, everyone dies. The planet is destroyed.

Why do people keep saying they have evidence and have presented it that proves you're wrong even though they have none and haven't presented anything? Furthermore, what do they think you're wrong about?

If the whole Earth stops by magic, with the angular momentum just vanishing and then reappearing, then the result is very minor. Every clock on Earth would need to be recalibrated against our satellites (unless they magically got paused as well). Siderial, solar, and atomic time would all be out of sync. Other than that, everybody would want to know: What the heck just happened? How did Earth magically stop and start again? But everybody is just fine.

If Earth’s rotation is stopped and all the angular momentum is released as heat, everyone dies.

If only the atmosphere keeps going, Earth’s surface is blasted with winds moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Most people die.
