not sure what fallacy this is but the argument strategy people use of “theres no pile of hay here. show me the things that make up this pile of hay”, and then saying “wow thats just one piece of hay. okay wow two pieces of hay. wheres the pile?” is the dumbest thing ive ever seen

That's a weaponized roundabout version of the paradox of the heap. "There's a heap of sand here" "No there isn't - give examples" "Here, here, here" "Three grains aren't a heap" Combined with an asymmetric demand on the effort needed to show x+1 examples.
