From an evolutionary aspect, if there were ever people who got dizzy from this constant motion, they would have had a more difficult time passing on their genes to future generations and this trait would quickly die out, leaving us!

When aliens land on earth, they immediately get dizzy and then leave, because they're just not used to this spinning. That's why there are so many UFO sightings and yet none of them ever stay around long. Mankind has adapted to this, just like how seamen develop sea legs.

Because the angular velocity is very small. Damn, I thought that was common knowledge since it takes 24 hours for the earth to make one rotation.....
The angular velocity is 7.27x10^-7 rad/s. Extremely small value. Because the angular velocity is very small, some of the fictitious forces can be ignored. The only fictitious force we experience is the Coriolis force.

earth is very large and when it rotates on its axis we experience gravitational pull towards centre and no other force centrifugal is very less

speed is very low compare to dizziness of human
