We just watched the Futurama episodes where alien cats stopped the Earth’s rotation, and they fixed it by making it rotate in the opposite direction.

      But OP asked a different question. Not what happens when earth stops spinning but what happens when earth spins in the other direction.

        The answer is largely the same if you make the same assumptions though, just roughly twice as bad because not only does the earth stop and everything not attached goes yeet, but everything attached starts moving just as fast as you in the opposite direction
