minus-squarejballs@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·22 days agoHuh now it’s got me wondering if that’s where the word “cooperate” comes from. Maybe it takes more more than one person to make a barrel.
minus-squareHawke@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·22 days agoNo. “Cooperate” is co-operate. Co means “with” or “together”. So “work together”

Wait, what’s a “Cooper”?
Someone who makes barrels.
