I ended up reading a bunch of flat earther comments like these a little bit ago, entertaining shit. The Dunning–Kruger Effect is strong in these people. I'm guessing their average IQ is somewhere between 70 to 90 at most. They can generally construct sentences without the grammar itself being catastrophically retarded, but in hypotheticals, they completely fall apart. Here are some examples that I found particularly funny:
Many of them think that if the earth is spinning, if you jump in the air and come back down on the same spot, that is proof to them that there is no spin. They can't grasp the idea that everything in that frame of reference is in motion together; they have a hard time understanding that the air is moving with the earth. When people bring up the fact that you can jump up and down on an airplane and land in the same place. They then come up with silly explanations for the difference, like the air being in an enclosed space. "Try doing that outside the plane while it's in motion."
I've seen flat earthers routinely having a hard time understanding gasses and pressure. Many of them think that if the earth doesn't have some sort of dome, then the air would just float off into space. I've seen many of them believe that it is impossible for two gasses of different pressures to coexist without mixing instantly. They don't understand the concept of barometric pressure changes due to altitude and compression or stratification of gasses or liquids, even though these things are easy to demonstrate.
Anyways, it's dumb stuff like this that leads me to pin them at the 70-90 IQ range mostly. We should be using the retards of the world to our advantage by imprinting stupid shit into their brains that works in our favor in some way. If we can imprint them with something targeted and destructive like the niggy belief that bald people have gold inside their head, then we can harness this retardation.
Lol, as dumb as it sounds, we can probably convince them that jews are the final boss of the simulation, and if you kill one, you can get out. We can tell them that their simulated body will still be here, but with only a copy of their consciousness. The real you is now free! "Awe, damn. I'm still here. I guess I'm the copy. Oh well, the 50/50 chance was worth a shot."
Anyways, the central theme here is that we should be using idiots to our advantage somehow. They are easy to manipulate, and there are a lot of them available all over the world. I'm going to term this strategy the ARFM or Autonomous Retard Force Multiplier.

"precisely because of the rotation of the earth"
How do you prove that it is motion of the earth that causes this? That's the issue. The cause is presumed.
The trouble is we are moving at 1000 mph at the equator. We don't detect that motion. We are also moving 67000 mph around the sun. We don't detect that motion either. Because the earth is spinning against the movement around the sun day vs night, there should be a +- 1000 mph speed difference from the 67000 in alternating day/night cycles.
And yet, we don't experience that. We don't measure that. And somehow a gyroscope is supposed to get me to ignore that?
If all the world's scientists were certain in their heart of hearts that the earth moves, they will include into anything they find that would seem to prove the opposite some counter acting force so as to create a working equation. This doesn't prove that the counteracting force exists. If you take Occam's razor to heart, 'Entities should not be multiplied endlessly' then you can safely eliminate all of those neutralizing forces and just keep with the base observations.
It is the sky that moves over the earth. Gyroscopes detect the motion of the field of the sky. That is the simplest answer.
