Is there a place where I can request a thread to be deleted? I searched on the FAQ and Guideline, but I didn't see anything.

Anyway, can I request to get this thread deleted as it's a duplication of another thread in the general forum. https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=476221

Thank you!

Thread just closed for now, perhaps some other Mentor will decide to delete it. Feel free to repost the picture in the real food thread.

Use the REPORT POST button. Ignore the "connotation" associated with it. Any post that a member thinks needs the attention of the Mentors should be reported using that function.
