Okay, here’s a sarcastic blog post, stripped of special characters and emojis, focusing on the technical aspects of building height:

One World Trade Center’s height is listed as 1776 ft. What’s the actual height?
I’m assuming that heat causes metal to expand. How much does the height of a building vary during the course of a day and during the course of a year?
Is 1776 ft the height of unexpanded metal? Or is it the average height?
Some places have restrictions on building height. What happens if the restriction is 1000 ft and heat causes a 1000-ft-tall building to expand a few inches to 1000.5 ft?
And what are the tolerances in building construction?
For example, would something like 1776 ft +/- 0.1 ft be acceptable?
