Likewise "What Universal Human Experiences are you Missing Without Realizing it?" from SlateStarCodex. http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/03/17/what-universal-huma

  Pedantically, I would contend that anything some people are missing out on fails the test for being a "universal experience", because it's not universal unless everyone has it, so the answer to the title of that post is "nothing".

    And I would contend you do not experience humour. Update: apologies if this came off as rude. One theory of humour is that comes about from a benign violation of expectations, known as the "benign violation theory"[1]. Using this model one can see the title as humourous.
