ELI5: Why is the chip on my new credit card safer then the strip on my older ones?

The chip creates a one time use code to process a payement. A magnetic strip is essentially just your credit card number in magnet form.

The chip is safer because if someone bad scans your card all they get is that one time use number. They cant save the number to use over and over. If you just have the strip they they can save that data and use your card all they want.
