Breathing has gotta be right up there.

Language is pretty good. Almost everyone uses that.

Food. Food is very popular. Nearly everyone eats food.

I'd say water, but some folks seem to get by on beer instead.

Man do I love breathing. I sometime do it without even noticing

[–] hdnsmbt@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

Man, you sound like you're addicted to that stuff

[–] Dawkinsisgod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm getting pretty good at breathing.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Breathing is overrated

[–] Iapar@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago

Sex. No doubt about it.

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Food. Everyone needs it, everyone loves it.

There's always debate about the best food though

[–] ultratiem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

There’s no debate, it’s pizza.

[–] Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Dying. Everyone's doing it.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah that’s the last thing on my bucket list

[–] Interesting_Test_814@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only 93% do, actually. (7% of humans to have ever existed are still alive.)

[–] Mechanismatic@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I thought of that, which is why I wrote it as an active verb.

Living. Almost everything that's alive really likes being alive.

[–] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

an amazing poop

i mean, everyone poops, but when you have an amazing poop it is probably the most popular thing

[–] quixotic120@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Do people with a colostomy bag “poop”? They defecate but it’s not what you describe

Similarly a lot of the other base human experiences in this thread are not experienced by a small subset of the disabled. Like food - I’ve worked with people who cannot eat food and have to have nutrients and water pumped directly into their stomach or intestines. Breathing has people on ventilators but that’s typically a “not much time left” situation whereas the food and poop situation can last decades. Sleep disorders can make sleeping a nightmare task that is dreadful night after night. Etc

I don’t know if there’s a universal positive experience, is my point

No, that’s just on the internet…

[–] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Sleep, according to this Tom Scott video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALy6e7GbDRQ

[–] sabriy01@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Religion and sex

[–] JoeClu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago
[–] lazylion_ca@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

Despite the high cost of living it remains popular.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Things.
Everyone has things. Most westerners have too many things.

[–] NikkiNikkiNikki@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

No matter how hard you try, you'll never be more famous than cheese

[–] Wreckronomicon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Probably orgasms

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Outside of necessities I would say it’s art, if that’s too broad and you’re looking for a specific medium i would say you’re probably into something with music but drawing/painting/visual arts and storytelling are probably both up there too. Those are the things we’ve always done, still do, and innovate new ways of doing them

[–] killernova@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Carbon. It's everywhere!

Don't have one. Computers, on the other hand, the family has a bunch.
