I want to start filming cinematic short videos with my t2i and want to shoot at 24fps but the shutter speed doesn’t give me the option of 1/50 so I can follow the 180 rule the closest shutter speed is 1/45 or 1/60 which shutter speed should I switch it to and will this noticeably change the look of what I’m shooting compared to 1/50

Set to 1/2 stop increments you get ... 1/30 ... 1/45 ... 1/60

Set to 1/3 stop increments you get ... 1/30 ... 1/40 ... 1/50 ... 1/60.

As a practical matter, for your purpose there is virtually no difference between 1/45 and 1/50 shutter speed.  IMHO, YMMV
