It's ridiculous how mountains loom over the city

In other words, I am implying how crazy/amazing it is to be seeing mountains everywhere you go in the city

Is there any problem in the sentence?

  

Top answer

Using ridiculous to mean crazy/amazing is a form of slang used by young people. This is not the standard dictionary meaning of the word ridiculous . It's almost the opposite.
