I've never smelled the stuff but apparently the smell of rain is something people try to bottle.

what's with the femur? is it on purpose?
likely not. alcohol is produced by yeasts who convert sugars to alcohol. pickle brine has likely too little fermentable sugars and a too low pH. so unless you dilute the brine heavily and then add more sugars (and most likely extra nutrients) nothing is going to happen.
But: you could make a sort of vegetable wine https://homestead-and-survival.com/16-best-fruit-herb-and-vegetable-wine-recipes/ and a) don't wash your hands or leave it uncovered during fermentation (you will get acetic acid producing bacteria) or b) at some point during fermentation just add enough pickle brine to stop the fermentation.
but why on earth would you want to do this?
if it's the vinegar you are after just make a shrub https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrub_(drink) and add some spirits of you choice
there is a segment on German public TV if that's any help https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/zdfzeit/zdfzeit-tricks-der-lebensmittelindustrie-mit-sebastian-lege-104.html#xtor=CS5-95
(Starts at 13:15 min). from what i remember it shows the same pattern mentioned by other commenters. vegetable fats instead of milk, thickeners, stabilizers, artificial flavors.
the abstract of the PDF provided in the link has more commas. (not sure if any of the terms mean anything though. i know jackshit about any of this)
this is my impression. back when i still was in academia it would pop up from time to time but i never published there since i never cited any of their journals in the first place. (why would one publish there when all your peers are somewhere else). nowadays i sometimes get requests from them to my personal email for special issues which i just ignore. (it's academic spam essentially).
have a look at retraction watch https://retractionwatch.com/?s=mdpi
some might regard it as a predatory publisher
thanks for the reply, but i think i got that. from the linked article:
For example, if you changed repo/packages/foo/CHANGELOG.json, when git was getting ready to do the push, it was generating a diff against repo/packages/bar/CHANGELOG.json! This meant we were in many occasions just pushing the entire file again and again, which could be 10s of MBs per file in some cases, and you can imagine in a repo our size, how that would be a problem.
but wouldn't these erroneous diffs not show up in git diff? it seems that they were pushing (maybe automatically?)without inspecting the diffs first
maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't this show up in a diff before pushing?
thank you for your work. although i don't post here i really appreciate the community and the work that involves. thanks a lot

i Kind of doubt it. in a video i saw if the process they were using hardfired bricks. i don't believe any organic compounds would survive the heat.
(dung might be a better term for what you were referring to. i seem to remember that because of the way they feed their cattle the dung has a very high fibre content which makes it a good source for building material. it's nowhere as gross as the diarrhea like consistency we get from cows in Europe)
