What if Cooler decided to intercept Goku's pod to make a solder out of him?

Babidi becomes emperor of the universe.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke
Herms wrote:The fact that the ridiculous power inflation is presented so earnestly makes me just roll my eyes and snicker. Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Beerus and Whis would have kill Babidi anyways if he took over Coola and Freeza's empire.

What if Cell had no interest in bringing out Gohan's potential power because of a photo that slipped out of his pocket, which formed his new goal of marrying Chi-Chi?

Hilarity ensues.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

What if the legends were true: there can only be one Super Saiyan every thousand years?

Then poor Vegeta would never be as strong as Goku and retire being a sushi chef. No better then yamcha. Lol

What if nothing had upset Beerus' at Bulma's birthday party (let's say he got some pudding before Majin Buu gobbled it all up), and he ended up going home without finding the SSG, going back to sleep?

If Freeza doesn't get revived, Goku meets Oob and then GT happens. If Freeza does get revived everyone dies, remember, Freeza trained to beat a Goku only superior to Majin Buu, not one who tangled with Beerus.

Goku fuses with Vegeta to make Vegetto. Vegetto fuses with Gohan. Gogetto fuses with Boo. SSJ3 Boogettan stomps Freeza.

What if cell shot out a cell jr before his death? And for some reason the cell jr survived and was able to escape unnoticed? Would it have been a mirror version of piccolo? Train and age up to face against the z warriors and become the big baddie? Or even if that did happen? Would he become a hero eventually?

Since he himself was a fraction of his father. Would he become op?

He'd turn up to cause trouble over the seven year gap but I think he and Gohan would probably stalemate each other or Gohan would barely win like Goku did with Piccolo Jr. He'd either become an ally of the Z fighters or get murdered by picking a fight with Buu.

What if dbgt and dbaf were the same universe. And what if in super they travel to this universes? How much stronger would DBS be compared to dbaf? Would Xicor be able to hurt Beerus and Whis? Or would ssj5 shenron merged Goku slaughter ssjgodssj Goku?

What is Gotenks turned Super Saiyan 3 Pre-ROST instead of entering the RoSaT?

He wouldn't have been that strong. I know they were only in there for an hour. Which should be 2 weeks? Those two weeks did improve their strength. They wouldn't have had the edge they have if they didn't go into the room.

What if "Mystic Gohan" was actually another version of a mastered SSJ2 at Full Power? He would have power beyond his current limits (as a SSJ2, at the time, hence "full power"), with his look resembling a natural state (hence "mastered"). What would his multiplier be?

I personally think mystic form is just a mastered ssj3 or pre God power

I see Gohan's Mystic state as his own version of Super Saiyan 3.
