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

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

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

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

Does the solid Earth + the oceans stop spinning?

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

When Trump blames DEI, isn't he just saying "it must be because there's black or brown people involved"?

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

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

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

Hi, I’m Jo. My best friend died 2 years ago today. My husband died 6 months later. So, I’m a depressed mess (we were married 28 years) and can’t shake it. Even my Brother is worried. Some days I don’t do anything, and avoid men cause I don’t want to date. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

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

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 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.
