Random Idea Post

Here's one I rediscovered:

A world where people, as they age, increase in body temperature.
At a certain age the citizens of such a world would all be sent to one place. A place where they would cause no harm to the rest of the world's living things via contact, and could interact with each other before their last days. Or years. A sort of pre-cemetery, where families hold ceremonies for their elders before they are sent there.
Eventually, said elders would become so hot that they would burn their way down the layers of crust and mantle to centre of the planet and feed the planet's core.
