If it happens to everyone, "society" will get used to it after about 3 weeks.
No fundamental changes.

I'm carrying marshmallows everywhere I go, in hope

Lakes and rivers are overrun with the old and paranoid in tiny ornate boats paddling around waiting for Valhalla.

I imagine a lot of hospital rooms, prisons cells, and streets of big cities, being filled with blood and the burnt remnants of corpses. Imagine all that cleaning needed.

Probably the same way as Death Stranding, but without the same sense of urgency (in the game, dead people become literal bombs shortly after death and are sent to incinerators to stop the explosion).

Possibly end up getting used to make steam that spins a turbine for electricity.

When saying goodbye to grandma, we all try to ignore the stranger standing nervously in the corner of the room with a fire extinguisher.

[ceenote@lemmy.world]

car airbags are now filled with ludicrous amounts of fire-suppressor foam

[throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works]

Idk where that's from but this gif looks funny

The potential for chain reactions on mass transit or in sports stadiums seems unpleasant.

Mandatory Social Distancing

War becomes slightly easier as there is a sign of a confermed kill.

[salacious_coaster@infosec.pub]

The trebuchet would become relevant to warfare again as combatants repurpose dying comrades into flaming projectiles.

[judgyweevil@feddit.it]

We would have discovered fire a lot sooner

[throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works]

I mean like, this just became a thing right now.
