This would include ones where Peirce has a sudden heart attack in his chair before the dice actually lands, or the pizza delivery guy crashes before he gets to the house so the opportunity for the dice roll never even exists. However, it's more likely that Abed has constructed the possibility of the other timelines in his head, and after catching the dice he simply considers what could have happened in the other timelines had the dice landed, based on what actually happened in his own timeline.
Notice that once the dice is caught, there is no evidence of Annie holding a gun, or Britta having anything to go and smoke in the bathroom. These probably relied on Abed's imagination relying on stereotypes and crazy speculation for each character. Later, when the other timelines "intersect" with the real one, it is simply based on an extrapolation of what he had guessed might happen in the "dark timeline", such as Peirce dying from the gunshot wound and Jeff losing his arm in the fire they only happen at the end of the episode, but with Abed's imagination he could then imagine much further into the future where Annie has been arrested etc.
It's worth remembering that a small zombie uprising inside Greendale at Halloween is actually canon in Community , so it isn't like other science fiction ideas have't been used legitimately in the past. Between that and Abeds seemingly heightened awareness of the reality they live in Abed is very aware that he lives in a TV show , it is likely that the multiverse theory is true in Community.

When the pizza delivery guy rings the buzzer, Jeff Joel McHale suggests a roll of the die should determine who answers the door.
Abed warns against this, saying it will create six different timelines, which it does. The worst outcome of those dice rolls is The Darkest Timeline of Community lore. It happens when Jeff rolls a one, and Troy leaves the apartment and sets disastrous events into gear by dislodging the boulder from the Raiders of the Lost Ark model that's on display. Troy returns to find utter chaos, with Pierce shot and the room in flames. He focuses on a seemingly cursed troll doll and screams, "Noooooo!
He decided to use a die in order to determine who had to collect the pizza. Abed eerily warned him that doing so would create six different timelines, and that was exactly what happened. Related: Community: The Dreamatorium Explained. The episode showcased all the alternate timelines resulting from Jeff rolling the die. Each time a different member of the group left for the pizza, their absence had unique effects on the others.
Some events were more significant than others, but Abed's worry about disastrous timelines would later be justified. Here's a breakdown of all the timelines featured in Community, including what happened in the canonical timeline. The first scenario was the result of Jeff rolling a 2. He counted two to his left and elected Annie to go get the pizza. After she left, Britta put "Roxanne" on the stereo, but Jeff wouldn't let her sing the song so she headed for the bathroom.
Pierce attempted to give Troy a housewarming gift , but he was too disturbed at the fact that there was a gun in Annie's purse. While Shirley finished baking her pies in the kitchen, Jeff wanted to avoid everything that was happening. He got up to get a drink and ended up hitting his head on the ceiling fan. Abed then became concerned about the odor coming out of the bathroom, causing him to act strangely just as Annie came back with the food.
The next scenario focused on what would have happened if Jeff rolled a 4, leading to Shirley getting the pizza from the delivery guy. Before she left, she asked her friends to look after her pies in the oven, but Jeff reminded them that they had an agreement to not enable her baking. Once again, Britta put on "Roxanne" and tried to sing along before Jeff stopped her, forcing her to head to the bathroom. In this timeline, Pierce successfully gave Troy the Norwegian troll doll as a housewarming gift.
The sight of the figure terrified Troy, which entertained Jeff before he stood up and hit his head. When Shirley came back to the apartment, she realized her pies were burnt so she left in tears since her friends let her down. Pierce was chosen to go get the pizza downstairs in the timeline that featured Jeff rolling a 3.
Before leaving, he tried to share his story about his romantic encounter with Eartha Kitt.
