After the first part I expected "Cleaning the vacuums from a room allows more sound to survive"

Imagine a shortsighted wolf with dirty glasses. Cleaning its glasses would make it a more effective predator, right? The same applies to the vacuum which is why you shouldn't clean it.

I've seen this more than once elsewhere, and I laugh at it each time 😂

This was a meme page, apparently transforming into a science education page. Sad.

I forget where it comes from, probably a standup comedian, but "It's no wonder cats and dogs are afraid of the vacuum cleaner, it's a thing that can eat and scream at the same time."

I always thought it's because vacuums crave the souls of cats and dogs. TIL.
