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
Man, you sound like you're addicted to that stuff
I'm getting pretty good at breathing.
Breathing is overrated
Food. Everyone needs it, everyone loves it.
There's always debate about the best food though
There’s no debate, it’s pizza.
Sleep
I wish
Sex. No doubt about it.
Despite the high cost of living it remains popular.
Outrage
No, that’s just on the internet…
Dying. Everyone's doing it.
Only 93% do, actually. (7% of humans to have ever existed are still alive.)
I thought of that, which is why I wrote it as an active verb.
Yeah that’s the last thing on my bucket list
No matter how hard you try, you'll never be more famous than cheese
Money
Living. Almost everything that's alive really likes being alive.
Things.
Everyone has things. Most westerners have too many things.
Religion and sex
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
Carbon
an amazing poop
i mean, everyone poops, but when you have an amazing poop it is probably the most popular thing
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
