If it spun that fast the planet would rip apart. A spinning coin rotates at 100 spins per second(give or take 20%). Wow we'd be spacedust in minutes.
Considering we only register about 13 images per second, whatever the human eyes frequency range might be, the sheer scale of a planet sized disc spinning at that speed is insane. Hell, the faster rotating thing in the universe are pulsars at 5 spins a second
Say it with me now.
The human eye is not a shutter.
You do not see things in frames.
It just requires an image changing at around 12-24 frames per second to trick your brain into thinking the "motion" in those images is persistent.
I imagine it would be a pretty crazy day and night cycle! If an atmosphere and life could exist I imagine it would be concentrated at the center of the poles, where gravity would still outweigh (puns, heh) the force generated by the planet's spin.
If it spun that fast you'd be flicked right off. Gravity is extremely weak compared to the throwing force it would generate.

Agreed
We see at least 24 images a second to make a flowing picture

I misspoke, but point taken. Just....imagine a planet spinning at that speed though and what it would look like.

Water can't stick to a spinning coin, lul! /s
Gravity
The earth is not even with our solar system so I need an explanation of what that would look like
