That's cause earth isn't actually rotating at all. The entire universe rotates around earth.

Maybe my math is wrong but: The Earth's radius is about 6,371 kilometers. With this large radius and a 24-hour rotation period, the centripetal acceleration at the equator is only about 0.034 m/s². This is tiny compared to Earth's gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m/s². So the centripetal effect is only about 0.3% of gravity's effect.

40,075,000m circumference / 86,400s = 463m/s?

I was about to say gravity is stronger but it has already been said.

Uh, is this supposed to be a humorous jab at flat earthers, or do you actually think that this doesn't add up and out yourself as a flat eather and in this case do you wish an explanation?

You see, that is another perfect example for why earth has to be flat, anything else just isn't logical!
