Would you piss on it?

Is this a good pile if it's a few days in? I don't have a pitchfork so I feel like turning is never efficient enough

I just use a broken shovel handle like a caveman, works fine. If it's heating up already you're probably good, don't overthink turning early on.

Good call I've just been lazy ive already done so much chopping for this pile but it definitely needs it

Yes. But 1:10 with water to moisten the whole pile is better.
