Why do people not fall from the earth?

The earth is a big cube that rotates. It spins at 1.000miles per hour which is around ten times as fast as a speed car. Still we fall not of because the earth is like a magnet for human.It has a south and a nord pole which act like a magnet. Everything with mass will be attracted.
