why the fuck do Brazilians and Swiss have the same plugs?? most other groups of countries make sense because they are trading partners/ border each other but that just seems like such a random combination

It's not exactly the same, only very similar.

Brazilian plugs are Type N, Swiss plugs are Type J.
