Everybody would die. Inertia would continue moving all the buildings, trees, animals and people at several thousand miles an hour even though the Earth is no longer rotating.
This is xkcd’s (yes the comic guy) ‘What If’, the whole point of the video series is to answer what would happen if what happens didn’t happen.
The short trims it out, but “Everyone would die” is mentioned in the first 10 seconds of the full video: https://youtu.be/gp5G1QG6cXc
Couldn’t even listen to the first five seconds to hear the full question, huh?
It would solve a lot of problems. And it could create one or two new ones in the process. 🤔
