Sense 3 (of the adjective) of instant + sense 2 of karma. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 20:34, 29 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • It isn’t, actually, though. Here’s your difference. If you throw a rock at a window, and immediately after, a bird poops on your head, you might call that karma, and it is instant. But it isn’t this. This is, you throw a rock at a window, and instead of it breaking the window, it bounces off and hits you in the head. If you go look at all the instant karma memes, all are instances of this sort of thing happening. Pandeist (talk) 22:08, 30 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Keep, although this is quite close to sense 2 of karma, and make it more clear that it is about self-inflected negative consequences. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 08:07, 25 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Weak keep, probably per Chuck Entz; I am too lazy to think about it deeper, hence only a weak one. For reference, karma #2: "A force or law of nature which causes one to reap what one sows; destiny; fate." --Dan Polansky (talk) 11:23, 15 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
