Literally gonna fucking cry right here right now. That’s why I pay tribute to MedusaπŸ–€πŸ

A 2,134-meter tall statue of Medusa holding the severed head of Perseus has been installed in Manhattan, across from the NY County Criminal Court, the site of high-profile abuse cases.
Medusa was stalked and raped by Poseidon and then blamed for it, and cursed by Athena with snake hair and turning people into stone statues. She was banished and so Perseus killed and beheaded her. Turning into a "Hero"

This statue "flips the narrative" as a way to bring justice to the character and the countless real-life Medusas. Who suffer the same fate due to the lack of justice in the world...

2,134 M would be about 7000 feet (nearly 1.5 miles) tall. That IS a tall statue!

Apologies for the facetious replies above, @dianea. I understand your points being made and am 100% in agreement with you, as you probably already knew.

perhaps a teanslation from german. we Germans write a comma for the parts <1 and we write points to denote thousands, millions, etc.

Think metric people use , instead of the decimal point we use so it would be 2.134 meters tall around 7-8 feet.

Nope, us Metric people use a period as a decimal point.

In my experience, Germans use the comma as a decimal point. It's actually an option in various calculating programs.
