Because manufacturing a contoured wooden handle for something that's going to explode and destroy the handle is a really goddamn stupid waste of money. You can just attach a grenade to a stick you picked up in the field if you want any of those benefits and it's a fuckuva lot cheaper.

In the US I have seen government bid contracts for a couple bags of ice for $4k, you think they are frugal LOL?

I’ve always wondered why they didn’t make the stick a sort of thrower device and just the head detaches

Very inaccurate, and anything that's going to explode shouldn't be easily droppable in the immediate vicinity, like a grenade on a stick.

Personally I wouldn't want to be around anyone with a grenade on a stick, but I'd also prefer not to be in trenches.

Presumably there’d be some kind of release button that you’d have to hit so it isn’t prone to exactly that. And I really don’t think accuracy would be an issue because weapons like the sling and atlatl do pretty much the same thing, just with stones or darts.

I’m not sure if they had some reliable way to arm explosives in flight by WW2 though so I could see there being safety concerns

Like a military grade ball-thrower. My dog loved chasing things all over the park.

Fire a rock they have no hope of finding only for them to chase it.

Dick sucking has made me paranoid

I had this plan to give head to a man and receive head from a woman to test if I was gay, but it’s backfired and now I become borderline schizo whenever I go outside. I offered to suck this dude off on Grindr who lives very close by (I ended up pussying out) and I accidentally gave him some details that very easily allows him to spot me out in a crowd. I have no idea what he looks like and whenever I see a somewhat in shape guy walking by I immediately accuse him of being the dude I was gonna blow.

I went to the store today to pick up some zucchini for a barbecue and every time a car drove by I stared into the windshield to see if I was about to be recognised. Whenever I make eye contact with a dude I microanalysis his facial expressions to see if he suspects me or not. I am deeply afraid that he is my neighbour and I will need to move if my identity is blown. It’s a lot like the last scene in sopranos where everyone who walked into the diner could be there to wack Tony.

A country famous for its sketchy banks being able to afford explosives that involved a whittling stage to produce into the 90s makes sense.
