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

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

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

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

Everyone says the pet population is out of control. Everyone says you MUST spay or neuter your pets. No one wants to talk about how its almost $1,000 to spay or neuter a pet. Why is it so expensive if its so necessary? Animal shelters do it for free.

Does the rocky planet alone stop spinning?

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

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

Forget running — NASA says ‘rebounding’ is more effective than a 30-minute run, here’s how to do it - Tom's Guide

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

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

Does the solid Earth + the oceans stop spinning?

Can both male and female cows be milked? Can bulls also be milked?

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

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

How do I know if he loves me? When he wants me to be his gf he make time for me and send me morning and night messages and done everything to melt my heart. Now I am his gf and he don't treat me that way now.

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.
