Comment on What impact would reversing the Earth's rotation have?

Randall Munroe made an xkcd about this. It’s not on his website unfortunately, but someone else uploaded it. I would recommend using a adblocker though.

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
