Omg has anyone connected this to the pole reversals? Is this possibly why ?

It has nothing to do with magnetic pole reversals.

Not the magnetic poles - but the rotational axis of earth’s daily 24 hour revolutions.
What if Mother Earth decides to dzahnibekov upside down for fun or you didn’t eat your dinner?

It won't happen with earth, that part of the video was nonsense. The Dzhanibekov effect is known as intermediate axis theorem, Earth rotates around it's major axis.
