Eli5: Why do birth control pills need to be taken at the same time every day?

For the same reason you should space your drinks evenly: consistency of the buzz.  Shots too close together and your BAC goes above safe levels causing your date's stupid jokes to get funny.  Shots too widely spaced results in your BAC dropping low enough to regret swiping right.  So, taking your pill at the same time every day ensures that your anti-baby buzz remains at just the right level so you're best protected.
