Dynamic Return Type
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Is it possible to create a method that will return any sObject type?
Why?
I want to create a method that combines DML operations, but the initial method that is called should be able to return any sObject type.

You can always create a method to return a SObject. Something as below:
public SObject mySObject() {
if(condition) {
return new Account();
} else {
return new Contact();
}
}
It will though depend on how you want to utilize it from your calling context. You can always get the SObjectType in your calling context and take actions accordingly. E.g.,
SObject s = mySobject();
system.debug(s.getSObjectType());
// execute other code based on type

even better is to return a List<SObject> so caller can work with collection idioms

@cropredy Agreed. This was more of a direct answer to the question itself, definitely always scope of improvements/refinement based on actual requirements.
