    some scifi universe where they hand out anti aging perfect health pills like tic tacs. That would probably be a pretty interesting place to check out for some time. If it’s an innate ability to travel and I don’t have to worry about getting stuck in a universe, I’d probably want to check out some questions like “what if the Roman empire collapsed way earlier?” or “what if someone killed Hitler as a child?” or “what if religion didn’t have such an appeal to people?” (though I suspect I’d be going back to the first universe with the last question).

      In the past religion was key to keep the population together under a single purpose. Nowadays that’s not needed anymore, but back then the church had a lot of control. Without religion bonding the people the Norms and values would be different than what they are now. However we can’t exactly speculate what would’ve happen since our society was build around religion.
