A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Where in the fuck are you getting 3% interest??
Bank Norwegian is currently at 3.25%. Of course at times of 4% inflation it's not enough
Around here, it's usually not at a local physical bank. My online high yield savings is currently at 4.5% though; that's where my emergency funds are.
6mo CDs: up to 5.3%, no minimum
In germany. I don't know how long these offers will be available but some banks already reduced the interest to 1,75% or something. I just switched bank for my emergency fund. I'm trying to be above the inflation rate which is currently something around 2,5%
I'm sure anyone reading this in the UK is already aware of MSE but just in case: https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/savings-accounts-best-interest/#easyaccess
A quick glance suggests most of those really high ones are time-limited bonus offers, but other places are doing quite high interest in general e.g. Marcus is paying 4.75%.
I am not endorsing this because I don't have it myself and know nothing about it beyond this, but the savings account Apple introduced a year or two ago has 4.5% interest.
Here's a few lists I might use (Finnish):
Just over 3% is common. Terms and conditions may apply. Your local selection might naturally be different.
