Right, but have you ever had an ice cube in your drink that you wanted to chomp but when you take a sip, it is on the other side of the cup. So you rotate the cup around but the water stays in place and the ice cube doesn’t move. That’s the idea I’m having.

The water is already rotating with the Earth. There is no sudden angular acceleration.
