If you’re American and cannot find Rakija, whiskey will also work. The cheaper, the better.

Just use a cool nature video as your desktop background instead? Pretty sure that’s possible on most systems nowadays. MacOS actually does this by default already.

Just use your smartphone to call him then.

So your use case is having your desktop show a live view of what’s on the other side of the screen to make it appear transparent? Okay.

What if it’s just your desk and the wall behind it?

What’s on the other side of the screen that would possibly be worth taking a picture or video of? Unless you’re in public, I guess, in which case — creepy.

In German, dogs are male by default (der Hund can be used as a generic term for both male and female dogs), but bitches are female (die Hündin). Cats are female by default (die Katze), but tomcats are male (der Kater).
