Nuggets

Guys the video isn't about drugs it's about addiction

I would be addicted too if I was forced to walk around in a white void with nothing but crack around

Currently 113 days sober from an alcohol addiction. The video also illustrates why it is so difficult to stop using. During addiction there is only the darkness and the substance, almost nothing else. Good thing from recovery is how much you start appreciating the light and freedom from being sober.

Amazing how the addiction progress even though it was killing him, physically. This is the best illustration of addiction I have seen. The thought, "Just STOP" will no longer come out of my mouth.

There is something i noticed, as it gets darker the Nugget doesnt change shade, it just stays as golden as ever, i think the darker it gets, the less focused on your surroundings you are and you start only wanting the thing that you are addicted to.

"Oh, this is cute." ... ... "OH GOD IT'S ABOUT ADDICTION!"

This is the transition of any sort of addiction. It doesnt matter which, it just feels like this.

世界の明度が徐々に失われてもナゲットだけが変わらず鮮やかに輝いて見えてる

Notice how he’s a bird without wings. First hit makes him fly. He feels like he’s meant to be that way. Represents an addictive personality very well.

We can all agree we didn’t think the video would be like this when we first saw it.

1 object, 1 area, 1 character. This animation is able to tell us so much with just 3 subjects in a video. I love how everything turns dark except for the nuggets at some point. Symbolising the fact that at this point it’s the only light in the bird’s life. There is too much to love tho, imma send this to myself 4 years ago

これ自分にも当てはまります...僕だけじゃないと思う お菓子やポルノ、ゲーム、SNS...様々な場面に中毒性のあるものがありますよね

I like how at the end they don’t actually slurp up the nugget. It’s sort of a “It’s your choice. Do you want to continue this cycle or get better?” Kind of thing.

I think it's really interesting how throughout the video, the 'nuggets' start to look brighter and more appealing as the world gets darker. Idk it was just a really good bit of visual storytelling

まじで中毒の仕組みと怖さがわかりやすく描かれてる。

People say vaping is cringe or "your just breathing flavored air" but this is what it's actually like

Conclusion: Do not eat yellow stuff from the ground

I was a gambler, and I assure you, this is exactly the same feeling. This video is about addiction, and it comes in many forms.

On a bright and cheerful morning, one fine day, a sweet little kiwi bird ran out to play! The kiwi had always, for the most part at least, been happy with his life up until this point, the days were always bright and cheerful, and he had lots of little kiwi friends! He had, however, always had a disturbing thought in his mind, the thought of all his mighty cousins who could fly, up there soaring in the sky, all while he was stuck on the ground, with nothing but plains and shrub abound. As the kiwi travelled forth, he spotted a peculiar golden nugget, just sitting there on the ground, waiting for someone to pick it up. He noticed it, but carried ever onward, not bothering to stop, but still finding himself wondering about it as he walked along. He wouldn’t actually stop and think until he came across yet another golden nugget, just sitting there, waiting for someone to interact with it… curious as to never really seeing one of these before, the kiwi gently nudged the little curiosity with his beak, and as he did, it seemed to shimmer, like the ripples of a peaceful river when a stone is skimmed across it, and strange, heavenly sounds emanated from it as it did. And so, driven by naught more than simple curiosity, the kiwi did something that would forever alter the course of his life. . . He gently leaned down, and sucked up the nugget with his beak The experience that followed was— nothing short of magical… it was the very elixir of innocence itself! The moment the kiwi consumed the nugget, it was as though the Lord himself was speaking to him from the heavens, it was as though a choir of angels had descended from the skies to tell him that he, and he alone was the most important living being in the universe, that he was loved, and would always be loved, and everything would just be alright now, forever! As the kiwi charged forward, the plains and shrubs transformed into meadows of sunflowers, silk, romance and joy, and he leapt into the air, higher and higher, soaring through the skies and— this was it, he suddenly realised… he was flying! He was flying amongst his mighty cousins in the sky, the albatrosses and the eagles, and as the plains transformed into flowery meadows far, far below, he knew that this was where he belonged. This is where he was always meant to be, right up until the point where it was over as quickly as it began, and he landed gracefully on his feet, and that, was that. He had really done it! He thought to himself, he had flew. He had soared through the skies amongst the albatrosses and the eagles, and all it had taken was a simple nugget… so innocent, so benevolent, so impossibly harmless and full of joy. At first he had thought that it was a once in a lifetime experience, that the elixir of life was surely incredibly rare, but it did not take long before he found another nugget, and this time, he did not hesitate for even a second. He consumed the nugget, and the experience was almost as magical as the first. He once again heard the voice of the Lord himself speaking to him, assuring him that he was loved, that he was special, and the lovely angels whispered into his ear once more. Charging forward, he took to the skies again, soaring amongst his mighty cousins, but this time… this time the kiwi did not land on his feet, he landed on his butt and bounced along the surface of the ground. It was a little jarring, but it didn’t really hurt, his only concern was finding the next nugget! The kiwi ran faster than lightning, charging forward to find the next nugget, and it did not take long to find it. As the kiwi consumed the third nugget, he briefly wondered how something so benevolent and powerful, an elixir that could literally give flight to the flightless was so easy to find… so common…. The thought made him uneasy, but was quickly offset by the voice of the angels once again, only this time, this time their lovely voices were much quieter, and he struggled to make out their words… he was granted the gift of flight once again, but this time for nowhere near as long, and when he crashed the the ground, his injuries were far more grisly and serious. He crashed down like a bird who had hurt it’s wing, and he was left with an ugly fat lump in his neck, and spikes in his behind. The kiwi was starting to worry now, the nuggets… why weren’t they as good as they were the first time? No! This can’t be happening! It can’t! He’s a bird! All the other birds can fly! He should be able to too, this is how he was ALWAYS meant to be! This is who he really was! He charged forward at the speed of sound, searching for another nugget and finding it in mere seconds. It’s gonna work this time! It has to! The kiwi consumed the nugget once more, and suddenly the angel voices were not so pretty anymore. They were still beautiful voices, but they screamed and argued at each other, shouting yelling, too fast to hear a word, and although he was once again able to fly, this time he did not go too high, and it was over in mere seconds. Despite the fact that he soared only pitifully high, the fall was somehow infinitely, infinitely worse. He crashed and tumbled and flailed and bumbled, and literally landed right next to another nugget. Why? Why couldn’t it just be like the first time? Why did it have to be not as good now? It would work this time! Come on! Let’s do it again! Consuming the fifth nugget before even thinking about the visible damage to his body, he realised that the angel voices had now turned crude and ugly. They were no longer shouting at each other, they were shouting at him. They called him fat, they laughed and jeered, they told him he would NEVER be able to fly, and when he leapt so he could try, all he achieved was a brief moment of float, before landed flat on his face. _The world suddenly became more and more gray, more and more flat, empty, and dull. The only things that still had colour was the golden nuggets on the ground, everything else was gray, and meaningless. He consumed the sixth one without even thinking twice, achieving nothing but a pathetic jump into the air before falling back down, and becoming fat and ugly, just like those ‘angels’ had said. But it was the seventh nugget where things really went downhill, for by the seventh nugget, he was no longer able to fly, he consumed it, and stretched into the air, begging the gods for a sign before falling to his knees, defeated, and all joy gone. Stripped away when he wasn’t even looking. The world went from bleak and grey, to dark and dismay. For the first time since the beginning of this story, the kiwi did not charge forward. He did not run out to play. He looked around, and the ground, at the sky, and saw… nothing…. Darkness. Emptiness. Cold. How? How could he have allowed this to occur? How could he have been so blind? So careless? So disrespectful to himself, and his own body? It had seemed so incredibly innocent at first, so overwhelming loving and good, and now all the joy in his world had been taken. Snatched away when he wasn’t looking… as the kiwi trudged forward, defeated, his sagging body threatening to pull him down, he came across it. The nugget. Not just any nugget, THE nugget, the very first one he had found, the one he did not consume, the one he passed by. He had gone around in a great big circle, and now the source of his innocent curiosity was staring back at him with a mask of cruel hatred…. It was hard to believe now, hard to believe that when he had first come upon this nugget, his greatest wish was to some day fly….._ And now he merely wanted to simply die. . .
