Rotating a 2d being in 3d space would be trippy and probably lethal. A 2d being would have it’s entire existence on a specific fixed 2d plane cutting through space- by rotating it, you’ve completely redefined the entire plane, and everything that the creature knew about and had built would be permanently lost.
Theoretically if you rotated the creature 180°, it could again perceive things from its own world, though in a very different way. But you’d think a sufficiently smart 2 dimensional creature could come to recognize that it was indeed the same world just mirrored.
Though it’s possible this creature’s chemistry would have a “handedness” and it could no longer metabolize the nutrients that exist in that world.
Hmmm, yeah I’d imagine chemistry would develop a specific handedness. It’s a bizarre thing to think about
obligatory Breaking bad
The fourth dimension is super interesting to think about. A person meddling in the 2d plane eould appear to the 2d world as a flat mass suddenly warping into their world… And a 4d creature would similarly warp into our world outta nowhere as a inexplicable mass because we are unable to view the creature, in it’s entirety, in our plane of existence.

Great book written in the late 1800s called “Flatland” tackled this shit pretty well. Still a great read, still messes with your head.
