It is a pile as soon as one grain of sand is resting solely on top of one or more grains of sand.

why, what's wrong with null piles?

There are just piles of sand literally everywhere? An infinite number of them in every tiny void?

yeah, and also piles of bananas and louis the XXXIIV era rugs.

ok, I guess. how can a pile of bananas and a pile of rugs be in the same place though?

[–] huf@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

as long as they're null piles, yes.
